Kgosi has the last laugh again

Kgosi allegedly verbally assaulted and obstructed X and Y, officers of the DIS, on or about February 18, 2019, at Extension 6 from executing their duties. Kgosi had always denied the allegation, claiming that on February 18, 2019, he had gone for physiotherapy when the two officers followed him to the clinic, where they aggressively demanded the receptionist takes them to him.
Before the withdrawal of the charge today, Kgosi was initially facing three counts that included taking photographs of officers as well as the identity cards of the officers engaged in a covert operation undertaken by the DIS, information of which was published in the Mmegi newspaper. The obstruction allegation was the only one remaining in the case after other charges were dropped last year.
With the remaining charge now dropped, the case is finally behind Kgosi. Earlier this year, Kgosi made an application seeking further particulars for his defence on the ‘lesser’ count and indicated that the case has stalled for a long time and needed to be disposed of.
