ARMY TRIED TO BUY SPY EQUIPMENT

The Swaziland Army has been exposed after a court unwittingly revealed it had tried to purchase spy cameras and phone monitoring equipment worth US$1.25 million.

It is suspected that the gadgets would be used against the growing number of pro-democracy campaigners in the kingdom, ruled by King Mswati III, sub-Saharan Africa’s last absolute monarch.

The Umbutfo Swaziland Defence Force (USDF) – the formal name of the Swaziland Army – is being sued in the Swaziland High Court because it ordered the equipment, but did not pay for it.

The Army ordered equipment known as GSM Option: Voice Intercept or delivery and SMS (Short Message Service) Intercept or delivery, as well as spy cameras and alarm systems, the Times of Swaziland reported.

The newspaper did not tell its readers what the equipment was capable of doing.

In fact, the equipment ordered can be used against the civilian population in Swaziland. The Voice Intercept equipment is marketed as a tool to monitor and record live phone conversations, which, according to one supplier, can be a valuable asset to any agency and investigation. It, ‘delivers the evidence that makes the case while protecting officers’ safety’.

The GSM equipment is designed to monitor mobile phones. This type of equipment is widely available across the world. One supplier lists the main use as, ‘following a person’s activities and staying undetected’.

The equipment records all information on the phone as it happens and records ‘phone events’. It can spy on SMS text messages, on web browser activities and call logs (inbound and outbound). It can also track the phone’s location using GPS.

It is, one supplier says, ‘100 percent undetectable and you can spy on unlimited [number of] phones.’

The Swaziland Army ordered equipment worth about E10 million (US$1.25 million) from Naspoti J & M Security Solutions, in Nelspruit, South Africa, the Swazi High Court heard, but cancelled the order just as the company was ready to deliver. No reason was given to the court for the cancellation but, since the Swazi Government is broke and is struggling to pay its bills, including public sector salaries, it is probable that it could no longer afford the contract.

The revelation will anger pro-democracy activists inside and outside Swaziland. There has been growing activity in the kingdom over recent years to force King Mswati to democratise. At present, all political parties and opposition groups are banned and the King controls the parliament and judiciary.

A mass pro-democracy demonstration, the latest in recent months, is planned for next Thursday (12 April 2012).

This is not the first time that the Swazi ruling elite has been found trying to spy on the King’s subjects. In August 2011, Wikileaks published a cable from the US Embassy in Swaziland that revealed the Swazi Government had tried to get MTN, the only mobile phone provider in the kingdom, to use its network for ‘surveillance on political dissidents’.

Tebogo Mogapi, the MTN chief executive officer (CEO) in Swaziland, refused to comply and later did not have his work permit renewed and so had to leave the kingdom.

The case at the High Court continues.

I'm really impressed with your writing skills, as smart as the structure of your weblog.
Is this a paid topic or do you change it yourself?
However, stopping by with great quality writing, it's hard to see any good blog today.

Nicely written & done.
I started writing in the last few days and realized that lot of
writers simply rework old ideas but add very little of value.
It’s fantastic to read an informative post of some genuine value to myself and your other followers.
It is on the list of things I need to replicate as a new blogger.
Reader engagement and content quality are king.
Some terrific ideas; you’ve most certainly managed to get on my list of blogs to watch!
Carry on the terrific work!
Well done,
Cheryl.
Thank you!
