Bugging South Africa

When court orders are blatantly ignored by government one must be a fool to belief that state security structures would limit themselves to the laws.
 
Nope. Here they just haul you away in an unmarked black van without a warrant & your never seen again... (True story check carte blanche). Wiretapping...lol.
 
Yet this is a requirement of the US system in
relation to criminal matters, which increases
transparency.
I could be missing something somewhere, but part of the uproar in the US is the fact that a secret court make secret decisions and that the service provider is not even allowed to tell that they had such request, nevermind tell the targets they were the target.

I am also convinced that the only reason for FICA and RICA is to enable mass surveillance of the population, as was done in various forms in the old Soviet states. The cANCer shows too many attributes of that disastrous system too think they will not embrace the power of information.

"Can the abuses that are taking place in the United States (US) happen in South Africa too?"

Technically no that does not mean it is not abused as in the case with the Zuma tapes.(RICA is quite a good piece of legislation and if adhered to it will protect the people from unlawful invasion of privacy)
The little that i have read on the USA and British spying saga is the Brits (at the request of the americans) spied on the Americans and the Americans (at the request of the Brits) spied on the Brits and just handed over the information that they gathered to their opposite spying agency in Britain and america, so technically neither spied on their own people so all was legal .
