Career

Thulani Dlomo became active in South African government affairs at the age of 13. He was an ANC member who fought for his opportunity and was also forced to leave.

However, he became a notable figure, rising to prominence when he started working at the State Security Agency in 2012 as Director General. He was then promoted to Deputy Director General of SSA in 2014.

Several incidents have tainted Thulani Dlomo’s reputation within the SSA. First, the government has blamed him for using his knowledge of South Africa to get involved in dirty legislative matters, including the removal of Van Loggerenberg and Pillay from their positions at the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

Thulani Dhlomo was appointed South Africa’s minister to Japan by former president Jacob Zuma in 2017. However, his tenure as ambassador ended in January 2019 when President Cyril Ramaphosa reviewed him after he took office.

He is known to be an admirer of Jacob Zuma. During his time as a South African secret agent, investigators blamed him for arranging a private volunteer army to ensure then-President Nelson Mandela was protected.

Furthermore, there are allegations that Thulani Dlomo was one of the geniuses of the country’s fiercest enemy in the Jacob Zuma war, which caused the genocide and terrible death toll. After the previous President Jacob Zuma was arrested, the incident happened.
