Magosi, Macholo set dangerous precedent, say DIS employees

They are accusing their bosses of setting a dangerous precedence by using their high end positions as a shield from the law. “They are attempting to avoid rightful imprisonment for contempt of court by making weak and misleading claims about constitutional rights and national security,” reads the employees’ response to the duo’s application.

Magosi and Macholo recently filed an urgent application seeking to block their arrests as ordered by Gaborone High Court Judge, Justice Zein Kebonang. This followed after a contempt of court order was issued against them on August 25, 2025.
