It was further unfortunate that exactly the same information that came from them as very urgent and secret was also received from other countries, which made the SSA very suspicious of being bullied into a situation which was of no concern to them. Information was kept to the minimum and therefore the seriousness of the situation got lost. After the so called ?Bulgaria attack? and the subsequent press release by his country that the attack was actually meant for South Africa and foiled. None of the details were shared with the SSA to be prepared in future. This re?ected more disrespect and bad faith. He agreed to the procedure for the future and could now see how his conduct did in?uence the situation to the detriment of the liaison relationship and that trust was broken between the two services. At this point his attitude changed from 'bossy? to agreeable. He requested time to explain his side of the story. He explained the following: During the ?rst incident he was in Cape Town, on invitation by the President of South Africa regarding safety and security issues. He was asked by the President to keep their meeting very clandestine and that only three to five people need to know about their meeting. -lt was during this time when the information came through. as a separate matter. that there is an imminent attack going to happen against either, lsraeli. USA. UK or Saudi targets and some information mentioned South Africa as target destination where these attacks could take place. -He was ordered by his DG to immediately get in contact with the RSA services to warn them. He had no liaison entry point at this stage and called the SSA. HOS in lsrael to obtain a name to get access to the SSA. He learned from the embassy that the HOS was at that time in South Africa. He called him numerous times. but with no success (HOS was at conference and could not have the phone in the meeting). After all his attempts he called his 06 in Israel, who ordered him to contact the DG. SSA directly on his behalf. He struggled to get hold of the DG. SSA and reported back to his DG. He then managed to get an appointment with the DG. intervention by his DG. He thought the meeting went very well and that he and mad immediate rapport between them. This made him assume he could call him again when he is in South Africa. He wanted to hand over a gift as appreciation for meeting him. This time they were here on invitation of another government do artm outh Africa. He did not mention the name of the department. but only that?was part of that department. 1.5 -ntroduceC-as the liaison person that will be handlin ?th South Africa in future.
