integration process.
iii. From this follows the obvious: the extremists have a mole within the PIU and suspected the mole?s identity was going to be compromised by the data.
iv Kleintjes himself was known for his Middle Eastern sympathies and could have been protecting the Muslim mole.
v. Furthermore, the PIU member arrested by Botswana police was waiting in ambush to intercept Mpayipheli and the hard drive, close to the Zambian border. We believe the Botswana authorities were tipped off to stop the drive (containing the information about the Muslim mole) from falling into the hands of the PIU. The only people who knew he was waiting in Botswana are part of a small, exclusive group within the PIU.
The only remaining question, in my opinion, is not if Islamic extremists have an operatI've within the SA Presidential Intelligence Unit, but who it is. From this, it naturally follows that the original data might shed some light on the Muslim mole within the South African intelligence community
At this time, the hard drive is still missing.
6. THE MATTER OF UMZINGELI
In 1984 a top CIA field agent and a decorated, much valued veteran, Marion Dorffling, was eliminated in Paris. The modus operandi of the assassin was similar to at least eleven (11) similar executions of U.S. assets and operatI'ves.
The CIA had enough intelligence from Russian and Eastern European sources to conclude, or at least strongly suspect, that one Thobela Mpayipheli, code name Umzingeli (a Xhosa word for ?hunter?) was responsible for the murder. According to available information, Mpayipheli was an MK soldier on loan from the ANC/SACP alliance to the KGB and Stasi as a wet work specialist.
Coincidently I was a rookie member of the CIA team in Paris at the time.
When Mpayipheli?s involvement in Operation Safeguard became public knowledge, I filed a request to the field office in Berlin for possible documentation from former Stasi files to confirm the 1984 suspicions.
Our colleagues in Germany obliged within hours (for which I can only commend them).
The Stasi records confirmed that Mpayipheli/Umzingeli was Marion Dorffling?s assassin.
I notified Langley and the response from deputy director?s level was that the Firm was still very much interested in leveling the score. Two specialized field agents from the London office were dispatched to deal with the matter.
Allison Healy?s fingers danced lightly but intensely across the keyboard. Her passion appeared in the words on the screen.
fugitive motorcyclist Thobela Mpayipheli was a ruthless assassin for the KGB during the Cold War, responsible for the deaths of at least fifteen people.
According to his longtime friend and former policeman, Dr. Zatopek van Heerden, Mpayipheli was recruited by the Soviets during MK training in what was then the USSR. Van Heerden is currently a staff member of the UCT Department of Psychology.
She scanned it quickly before continuing, suppressing with difficulty the impulse to write, ?his longtime friend, the world-class asshole Dr. Zatopek van Heerden.?
In an exclusive and frank interview, Dr. Van Heerden disclosed that
The phone rang and she grabbed it up angrily and said, ?Allison Healy? and Van Heerden asked, ?Have you got a passport?? and she said, ?What??
?Have you got a passport??
?You asshole,? she said.
?What??
?You are a total, complete, utter asshole,? she said before realizing her voice was so loud that her colleagues could hear. She took the cell phone and walked toward the bathrooms, speaking in a whisper now, ?You think you can fuck me and run off like a ? like a??
?Are you cross because I didn?'t leave a message??
?You could have phoned, you bastard. What would it have taken to make one call? What would it have cost to say thank you and good-bye, it was good, but it?s over. You men are all the same, too fucking cowardly??
?Allison??
?But not last night, oh no, last night you couldn'?t talk enough, all the things that you said, and today not a bloody word. Couldn'?t you lift a finger to press a telephone button??
?Allison, are you interested in??
?I am interested in nothing to do with you.?
?Would you like to meet Thobela Mpayipheli??
The words were queuing up behind her tongue, but she swallowed them down. He had taken the wind from her sails.
?Thobela??
?If you have a passport, you can come along.?
?Where to??
?Botswana. We are leaving in ? er ? seventy minutes.?
?We??
