The Director General of Intelligence and Security (DIS), Peter Magosi, and Gaone Macholo, director of the Directorate of Public Service Management (DPSM), have successfully challenged a court order that directed their imprisonment for contempt of court.

The Gaborone High Court Judge, Zein Kebonang, yesterday set aside the imprisonment order after finding out that the two directors were not personally served with the contempt application during its filing.
