The Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) Director General, Peter Magosi, has been interdicted from carrying any disciplinary hearing of the spy unit’s suspended top agents, pending their review application challenging the decision to commence disciplinary hearing against them.

The agents, Pulane Kgoadi, Paul Setlhabi and Kuda Malikongwa, Sebuweng Mukani and Mpho Molokwane who some of them were on various occasions arrested and detained by the DIS and the Botswana Police Service (BPS) officers recently made an interdict application. In the application for an interim interdict, the agents wanted interdiction of Magosi from commencing disciplinary proceedings against them pending the final determination of the review application challenging the decision of Tebogo Bagopi to recommend disciplinary charges against them based on the investigation report.

Justice Boipuso Makhwe of the Lobatse High Court yesterday granted a temporary order saying the agents have made a case for the relief they seek. “The applicants have a clear right to be subjected to a lawful process and reject an unlawful one. The facts of this case also favour the granting of an interdict in favour of the applicants,” she said.
