Bernie Ley and Gideon Nieuwoudt earlier allegedly confirmed in anonymous television interviews the spy allegations against national director of public prosecutions Bulelani Ngcuka.
They alleged in a e-tv programme that a travel restriction on Ngcuka's passport was lifted during the eighties at the request of intelligence officials.
Both were later identified in testimony before Judge Joos Hefer. Nieuwoudt's credibility was questioned repeatedly during cross-examination before the commission.
Mo Shaik - primary source of the allegation that Ngcuka was probably an apartheid agent - eventually admitted that he had paid Nieuwoudt around R40 000.
Shaik maintained that this was merely to cover Nieuwoudt's travel and accommodation costs, as well as expected legal fees.
Evidence before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission revealed that Nieuwoudt was one of the country's most notorious apartheid police officers.
The TRC denied him amnesty.
Ngcuka's National Prosecuting Authority recently confirmed that it was investigating his participation in the apartheid-era murder of the Pebco Three activists.
Shaik had been using allegations that the apartheid government failed to impose travel restrictions on Ngcuka as one of the pillars of his accusations against the chief prosecutor.
He argued this caused reasonable suspicion that he acted as a government agent.
Bacon also said yesterday that Ngcuka would take the stand before Hefer on Wednesday.
Ley would testify on Monday and Nieuwoudt on Tuesday. – Sapa.
