Description
As the title of this series of papers suggests, there are two primary issues for discussion. On the one hand, the question 'To spy or not to spy?' has been posed. This asks us to consider the nature of the role and function of the South African intelligence community and the role of the 'secret' sector in the security apparatus of the state. On the other hand, the issue of the relationship between intelligence and democracy in South Africa is also considered. Seeking to establish and maintain democratic control of the intelligence sector is a challenge even for mature democracies. It is important to consider and evaluate how the South African intelligence community is grappling simultaneously with meeting the democratic demands of openness and accountability while at the same time maintaining the secrecy deemed necessary for intelligence to function effectively.
