The State Security Agency (SSA) plays a vital role in providing the South African government with intelligence on both domestic and foreign threats, aiming to safeguard national stability, the constitutional order, and the well-being of the people. By focusing on areas of national interest such as terrorism, sabotage, subversion, espionage, and organized crime, the SSA enables the government to implement effective policies to address and mitigate potential threats. Through their work, the SSA enhances the understanding of existing threats and contributes to the development of policies that ensure the safety and security of the nation and its citizens.
