BCP wants Tholwana Borethe authors charged

The private media had, of recent, been awash with false and alarmist reports that the Directorate on Intelligence and Security (DIS) has prepared a confidential report titled Tholwana Borethe. In a recent letter to Makgophe, BCP president Dumelang Saleshando noted that, “the alleged intelligence report details how the DIS meddles in politics by illegally and wrongfully spying on opposition political parties in Botswana with a view to destabilising them to the advantage of the ruling party”.

“The contents of the alleged report clearly caused alarm and deep-seated fear to the public in general and to opposition parties and their leaders in particular. We note that the DIS has issued a press release distancing itself from the said intelligence report. Significantly, the DIS claims that it has carried out an investigation and they know the originator of the alleged intelligence report.
