Tribunal throws out contempt case against DIS

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 | 70 Views |

The Tribunal on Intelligence and Security has struck out an application brought by Lucky Kgabeng and 105 other applicants seeking to hold the Directorate of Intelligence and Security Services (DIS) in contempt of a previous tribunal order.

In a ruling delivered recently by the Tribunal Chairperson, Dr Godfrey Radijeng, the Tribunal said it had reviewed the legislation establishing the body and found no provision granting it authority to enforce its orders through contempt proceedings.

"The Tribunal cannot enforce its own order against the DIS," he said. The applicants filed the application on June 10, 2024, arguing that the DIS had failed to fully comply with a consent order made an order of the Tribunal on February 4, 2022.
