Kgosi makes this admission in a tape seen and analysed by Mmegi. In an interrogation with the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) investigators Kgosi said that he installed covert cameras in his office after he realised that some people were stealing his personal money. Oddly Kgosi kept loads of cash running into thousands in different currencies in his office.
According to Kgosi some of the cash often disappeared mysteriously from his office prompting him to install covert cameras to identify the culprits.
Kgosi told the investigators in graphic details about how he managed to identify his deputy Tefo Kgotlhane as one of the thieves.
According to Kgosi he ambushed Kgotlhane by showing the footage of him (Kgotlhane) stealing his money.
“…At first he denied it because he didn’t know that I had evidence. As soon as I said look at that thing, what is that? He said it was a sensor, a burglar sensor.
And then I said what about that one? And then he said another burglar sensor then I said you are wrong these are two covert cameras,” he said, adding that immediately after realising that he was caught he confessed that indeed he stole the money.
Asked about the money he was keeping in his office Kgosi said that whenever he returns from international trips he keeps the foreign currencies in his office. “I would have maybe, Cuban currency, American currency, Euros, and Israeli currency. (SIC) So then I started checking, and remembered that I had three thousand or four thousands Euros and five hundred was missing. So then I remembered that I had kept more money and it was missing,” he said adding that initially he thought the cleaners were the ones stealing his money only to later realise that his deputy was in fact the ‘thief’.
According to Kgosi the missing money troubled him to a point that he decided to do something and install covert cameras.
He admitted to the investigators that he installed the camera without informing his deputy.
