Ad Hoc Committee on the General Intelligence Laws Amendment Bill [B40

In a recent development detailed on Parliament.gov, proposed amendments are set to reshape the legislative landscape surrounding intelligence operations in South Africa. The targeted revisions span the National Strategic Intelligence Act, 1994, the Intelligence Services Act, 2002, and the Intelligence Services Oversight Act, 1994. The amendments primarily focus on refining and introducing precise definitions.

Central to the proposed changes is the establishment of key entities, including the South African Intelligence Service, South African Intelligence Agency, the National Communications Centre, and the South African National Academy of Intelligence. The envisioned modifications outline the functions of the Intelligence Service Structures and introduce additional regulatory responsibilities for the Minister.

This comprehensive legislative update also addresses matters concerning former members of Intelligence Services, initiates consequential amendments to other laws, and encompasses various interconnected issues.
