DIS responds to Mmegi article

The news item titled “DIS targets Judge Moroka” which appeared in the Mmegi newspaper on October, 20, 2017, comprises false statements and concoctions which have no ground.

This news story by Oarabile Mosikare is clearly an attempt to malign the Directorate of Intelligence and Security and its employees.  It is alleged in the news item that three DIS agents interviewed Judge Moroka and that the DIS has put him under continuous surveillance, monitoring his movements and telephone conversations.  Despite the fact that the DIS Director General pointed out to the author of this story that, no DIS team interrogated Judge Moroka, the newspaper proceeded to use a deceiving headline to mislead the readers. The contentions made in this story are factually incorrect and baseless. 

There is no DIS team that interviewed/interrogated Judge Moroka and no surveillance and monitoring by the DIS of Judge Moroka’s movements and telephone conversations.
