A director of the Cyber Forensic Branch at the Botswana Police Service (BPS) headquarters has exonerated ex-spy chief Isaac Kgosi, former Cabinet minister Sadique Kebonang and Mmegi journalist, Tsaone Basimanebotlhe, of any wrongdoing.

The three were under the microscope as suspects in a case in which identities of Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) officers, who were involved in a covert operation, were disclosed.

In his affidavit, Kealeboga Keeditse swore that he received a request from the Office of the Divisional Commander, South Central on March 18, 2019 to analyse two iPhones belonging to Kgosi, which were suspected to have been used to take pictures of agents, including their firearms and vehicle. It was also alleged that the same pictures were subsequently published in Mmegi on February 22, 2019. In his analysis and conclusion, Keeditse said no such pictures nor communications in relation to the case were found during the analysis, nor any indication that they once existed in the phones.
