Free lesson we need to give Eric Molale, that he is not our boss, he does not, and will not dictate who we listen to, who and what we investigate and what we publish. Our boss is the reader. As free and independent media we serve one boss, and that boss is the public. On Tuesday, the minister proved us wrong when he went ballistic in the National Assembly accusing Mmegi of listening to a “mad man”. The story in question was carried in the edition of January 8, 2016 in which Richard Kgotlhang exposed the underhand dealings of the Directorate on Intelligence and Security (DIS).
The disgruntled former hitman related chilling allegations of murders and attempted murders he was engaged in. Instead of addressing the issues at hand, the minister accused Mmegi of trying to tarnish the image of his government. As he went on, the MP for Gabane/Mmankgodi Pius Mokgware, the target of the alleged attempted poisoning by DIS, confirmed that he has reported the matter to the police, and demanded the minister to explain if his statement meant that the investigations were not going to proceed.
