This is particularly so when issues arise that strike at the very heart of the republic, such as is presently taking place with the corruption allegations around the Director General of Intelligence and Security, Isaac Kgosi.

Whether true or not, the allegations around Kgosi are intrinsically of such a nature as to perturb Batswana, given the levels of responsibility entrusted to the Director General of national intelligence and security. By their nature, any allegations around the gatekeeper of a country’s security trigger concern among right-minded citizens, as is occurring from the feedback the media is receiving on the Kgosi story.
