by TINTSWALO BALOYIExecutive EditorJOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – HOW a legally-registered facility, operated by an accredited security training service provider, has ended up being an illegal military training base for undocumented Libyans is a source of mystery and panic in South Africa. Such does not bode well for South Africa, already suffering a reputation as having some of the most violent crimes globally. Military training equipment, including licensed firearms, were also found. One is Abubakar Swalleh, described by the US as a “South Africa- and Zambia-based” ISIS operative allegedly involved in the physical transfer of funds from South Africa to the DRC. Additionally, Swalleh reportedly facilitated the movement of ISIS-affiliated individuals from Uganda to South Africa, and vice versa.
