George (Nairobi contact)

George is a Nairobi-based contact referenced during the commission’s proceedings, described by witness Brown Mogotsi as someone highly conversant with CIA operations in the SADC region, not just South Africa. Mogotsi testified that George confirmed the plausibility of information obtained from Mogotsi’s source and mentioned that the G20 summit period might yield further leads. However, counsel Adv Baloyi SC characterised George differently, noting he was not himself a CIA operative but rather someone aware of operatives, and raised the possibility that George could have been a random, unknown individual who misled Mogotsi. The record leaves his organisational affiliation and reliability unresolved.
