 ::A former security police officer told The Observer that they had supplied information to Hunter that had led to the expulsion from Britain of former ANC representative [[Solly Smith]].
 ::Hunter, a former advocate of recognition for the now defunct South African homeland, Bophuthatswana, admitted to The Observer last week that he had met, and received intelligence from, the security police as well as the national intelligence service.
-He said his prime purpose was to obtain information on terrorists, and that they shared a common interest on this front. 'Everything they told me was in the hands of [[MI5]] and [[MI6]] as soon as possible,' he said. He produced reports for Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on links between the [[ANC]] and the [[IRA]] - a subject he wrote about for foundation publications - and the ANC's support for terrorist operations in South Africa.

 ::'They didn't really give much information,' he complained. 'One item they gave me was disinformation. I didn't know about it until much later.' And the security police helped him to gain access to three ANC members, detained without trial - Susan Westcott, Ian Robertson and Hugh Lugg - to question them about ANC activities in London and links with the IRA.
 ::Ironically, for a man investigating terrorism, Hunter's key contact in the South African security police was Colonel [[Vic McPherson]], now a suspect in the South African police bombing of the ANC's headquarters in London in 1982. McPherson was one of seven police officers who were awarded the Police Star, the highest police commendation, for that incident.<ref>Philip Van Niekerk, HOW APARTHEID CONNED THE WEST, The Observer, 16 July 1995.</ref>
