The bench told DIS that its failure to follow court rules cannot be tolerated

The Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) will pay salary back pay to about 401 employees, dating as far back as 2008, after its appeal against the order was dismissed in court yesterday.

The DIS has kept its aggrieved employees waiting for over 10 months since a 2024 High Court ruling ordered that they be paid their outstanding salaries. Before the Court of Appeal had the case thrown out yesterrday, the DIS was told that their appeal is out of time.

SADC must see its words become action

An election is held in a member state, international observers raise concerns, but the Southern African Development Community (SADC) often remains silent or offers only gentle, diplomatic praise.
