SAPS explain Dlamini-Zuma VIP protection─── 07:52 Sat, 15 Apr 2017
Johannesburg - Protection provided to former African Union chairperson, Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, is “informed by the outcome of a security assessment conducted and ongoing investigations in relation to threats directed at her person”.
This is according to national police spokesperson, Sally de Beer, after The Citizen reported yesterday that Dlamini-Zuma was still receiving VIP security despite not being a Cabinet minister or member of parliament.
Dlamini-Zuma attended an ANC cadres forum in Sasolburg, Free State, where she was escorted by members of the Presidential Protection Unit.
De Beer says that in terms of the Presidential Protection Unit’s mandate, protection was provided to the president, deputy president, former presidents, foreign heads of state and their spouses.
