Thieves stole 17m rand ($1m; £700,000) from the offices of South Africa’s spy agency during the festive season in December, State Security Minister David Mahlobo has told lawmakers.
“You can’t even say it was a break-in, it was a walk-in,” he is quoted as saying.  
“It was an internal job – you cannot even access the facilities without an access card. There was no break-in. People walked-in using an access card. It is one of those incidents where we felt embarrassed,” he added.
