Magosi has the last laugh

On Wednesday, President Mokgweetsi Masisi redeployed Brigadier Joseph Mathambo to the army from the DCEC following a long tuff war with Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) head, Peter Magosi.

In December 2019, Mmegi reported that the country’s oversight bodies, DCEC and the DIS were involved in a low-key feud, which saw relations between the two institutions tumbling to an all time low.  A well-placed government source has said “the director generals of the two institutions, Brigadier Joseph Mathambo of the DCEC and Brigadier (retired) Peter Magosi of the DIS have been deeply immersed in a feud”.
