Intelligence Sources Accuse Police of Downplaying Terror Camps Threat — Sunday Times reported on 6 June that director of the NEFA Foundation Ronald Sandee said police officials denial of the presence of terror training camps “is reason to believe they don’t have their apparatus under control” especially because South African police intelligence have “reports containing detailed information about the terror training camps”. The Sunday Times report added that it has seen correspondence from a former trainee stating he was “personally … exposed to training camps” and centers in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng and the Eastern Cape which “is one of many that recruit innocent black South Africans into something they do not know”. Local intelligence sources who confirmed the existence of camps and cells said “the only way to eliminate the threat at this stage is to identify extremists in conjunction with foreign intelligence agencies, and technology”.
