So you thought you've had bad days, consider how our Minister of State Security is looking back on today.

At the office:
The State Security Ministry's petition to the Supreme Court of Appeal to overturn a decision to compel a former national intelligence coordinator to testify in Jackie Selebi's corruption trial was dismissed on Friday.

An official at the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) confirmed that the application for leave to appeal by Minister Siyabonga Cwele and two others was dismissed by Judge Kenneth Mthiyane and Judge Mahomed Navsa.

Cwele and Frank Nabolis, a Nigerian arrested last month, are facing three charges, Hawks spokesperson Musa Zondi said.

These are dealing or conspiring to deal in drugs, procuring a woman called Charmaine Moss to collect drugs in Turkey and another, Tessa Beetge, to smuggle 9kg of cocaine.
