'Wimpish' Magosi receives Kgosi deal equipment

DIS director general, Peter Magosi continues to receive the Israeli equipment in what seems to be unheeded calls and failing attempts to end the arms deal for the acquisition of security equipment and surveillance platform with associated training.

Magosi’s predecessor, Isaac Kgosi had signed the deal,which the former claimed, or deemed to be unprocedural, with Israeli company, Dignia Systems in November 2017.  On August 13, 2018, Magosi wrote to Dignia Systems telling them that DIS cannot continue with the contract because of the way it was entered into being irregular and not conforming to standard government procurement procedures. Dignia Systems did not take kindly to Magosi’s letter and responded to him in kind.
