We commend the Court of Appeal (CoA) for bringing sanity to the long-standing turf wars between the country’s security organs, the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) and the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC).

After all back and forth arguments, the CoA has set the record straight giving an invaluable lesson to the DIS that it was no super security organ and it does not have any powers to cogently supervise other security organs including the DCEC.

What started off on Labour Day in Letlhakane this year, where Boko was in attendance when the militant lawyer-cum-trade unionist, Robert Rabasimane rebutted the President’s address in defence of the trade union has seemingly spiralled out of control. The issue is now creating a cat-and-mouse type of a...
