Thulani Dlomo, Jacob Zuma’s former ambassador to Japan and nicknamed his “superspy,” was arrested in late 2025 by South Africa’s Investigating Directorate Against Corruption. He faces charges related to the alleged theft of R12 million from a secret fund within the State Security Agency (SSA). The arrest signals a potentially large-scale investigation, surpassing even the scope of the Madlanga Commission. Dlomo's role allegedly involved manipulating the SSA’s secrecy for personal gain. This case centers around the misuse of funds intended for national security. The developing story promises to reveal details about a network of individuals involved in weaponizing the SSA's classified information. It indicates a move towards greater accountability within South Africa’s intelligence structures.
