DIS officers revisit contempt against Magosi, Macholo :: Mmegi Online

The legal standoff between employees of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) and their bosses, Director General Peter Magosi and Director of Public Service Management (DPSM) Gaone Macholo, has resurfaced after the Court of Appeal (CoA) dismissed the application for leave to appeal out of time, effectively reviving contempt proceedings that could see them jailed for non-compliance with a court order.

The development marks a major setback for the two directors, who had previously managed to block their arrest as the court agreed with them that they had not served the contempt applications individually.

They had argued that the High Court’s contempt of court judgment, issued in August 2025, should not be enforced as they were not served individually, and also that they were still pursuing appeal processes.
