  • Arthur Fraser is in the headlines a lot these days - for two reasons specifically - he’s the former spy boss who granted former President Jacob Zuma his medical parole, and also the man who laid charges against Cyril Ramaphosa over the February 2020 Phala Phala theft saga. The fifth instalment of the Zondo Report makes damning findings against Fraser and a dubious cast of characters in the intelligence world. Michael Appel takes a look at the man instrumental in shaping South Africa from the shadows.

    Michael, I knew Arthur from my early days in WP athletics and administration. If you gave me odds of $1B to $1 that the bumbling fool would amount to anything but a bum I would have put the $1 safely back in my pocket. They grew up in a middle class suburb of Glenhaven, a somewhat classier Cape Flats suburb of 'coloured' small business people through to teachers etc of which his dad was one.
    They were 'political' in a quiet , hush hush way as we crammed into a bedroom to hold some of our earlier club (Titans AAC) meetings for a very short while, the Mum always in the kitchen, Dad extremely quiet, the stuttering younger brother Barry quite good at school, but Arthur had left school and was somewhat of a drifter who couldn't put two sentences together. I , and others, regarded him as a 'bit slow'. [As an aside, prior to this, I recall his dad had been reported in The Argus, for a fire started on the slopes of Devils Peak that went out of control. I haven't been able to track that article, perhaps you have the means.]
    We moved our meetings out of their home. but at every occasion where we organised club time trials, fun runs etc, Arthur was one of the most hopeless at organising, or even taking instructions. My $1 would have really looked very safe at that time. He had no job, and was in and out of college/tech courses, and spent a lot of time a couple of streets away at his girlfriend, Natasha's home. He occasionally rocked up to a 5km time trial (my little black book of Cape Times results still have those recordings) and last noted presence was on 3rd April '84 and Barry 17th July 84. Geraldine had disappeared to Lesotho by then, and a few years later ('87) when I visited the UWS library I bumped into Barry who informed me he was 'doing Law', but was evasive about Arthur's whereabouts and what he was doing with his life.
    Amazing how the ANC 'exile' life can groom you for riches through corruption

      But this is an example of exactly what has contributed to SA's demise over the last 30 yrs, a bunch of nincompoops like Fraser, useful idiots in the true sense of the words, that have been foisted on society to enable politicians and fatten their pockets at the same time. I was a SACOS affiliated worker in the athletics scene, but never trusted the ANC , left in 1990, and they proved me right. The whole lot of them should be tried for treason.

    Arthur Frazer may not be a nun but if it was not for him we would never have kown about Ramaphosa's shady Phala Phala deal, even if Ramaphosa is the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry basket that is not good enough there are better candidates out there. The fact is Ramaphosa did not declare the funds in his couch to SARS or customs and did not pay the taxes on these monies, which is a crime. SARS is putting out messages that they are going after tax payers that don't pay their taxes. Well, why don't they set an example with the president? Otherwise, they are a joke and have double standards.

His days are coming and he saw that already 😂 of course he is not a reliable or credible whittle blower that's a fact at least
