During the next appearance the trial date would be set. <br \/>\u00a0 <br \/>According to the initial charge sheet Kunene supplied &quot;intercepted e-mails&quot; to Madladla who had to take them to higher-ups in the agency. <br \/>\u00a0 <br \/>Kunene was employed or contracted by the NIA to intercept e-mails and other electronic communication, for which he was paid R152,000. <br \/>\u00a0 <br \/>He handed several documents that he claimed to be intercepted e-mails and electronic communications to Madladla. <br \/>\u00a0 <br \/>It was later found that these documents were fabricated and did not originate from the parties purported to have written them. <br \/>\u00a0 <br \/>The e-mails implicated senior ANC members in a conspiracy against the party&#8217;s deputy president Jacob Zuma, and secretary-general Kgalema Motlanthe. <\/font><\/p>\n<p><i><font size=\"2\">INet-Bridge<\/font><\/i><\/p>\n<p><em \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fraud case against two men implicated in the National Intelligence Agency&#8217;s (NIA) hoax e-mail saga has been postponed in Pretoria&#8217;s Specialised Commercial Crime Court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-549709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549709"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549709"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/549709\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=549709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=549709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
