South Africa is transforming its national security apparatus through the General Intelligence Laws Amendment Bill (GILAB). The Ad Hoc Committee on GILAB is seeking public feedback on critical aspects of the proposed amendments, including creating an Evaluation Committee to oversee intelligence activities, appointing a Deputy Chairperson for the JSCI, and empowering the IGI to perform oversight functions. This public engagement ensures diverse perspectives on shaping South Africa’s intelligence sector and strengthens parliamentary supervision. The Committee is welcoming written submissions on the issues and adopting technological solutions for more accessible and convenient participation.
