A leaked intelligence report has concluded there is a “high likelihood” that ANC MP Xiaomei Havard could be sharing classified information about South Africa with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
According to the intelligence report, which News24 has seen, the State Security Agency's (SSA) counter-intelligence unit had flagged concerns over Havard's links to China and its impact on national security.
The Chinese Ministry of State Security (MSS) and organisations linked to the United Front Work Department (UFWD) play an integral role in gathering intelligence outside of China.
