Magosi stays put at the DIS spokesperson

The media has lately been awash with allegations of the ‘forced’ exit of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) director general, Peter Magosi. In this question-and-answer session, Mmegi Staff Writer RYDER GABATHUSE speaks to the DIS communications officer, Edward Robert, who vehemently and outrightly dismisses Magosi’s alleged impending exit as simply the work of the media

Question: Could you kindly shed light on this development, as the assumption is that the media cannot just run with a baseless story about a prominent person of Magosi’s stature without reason?

Answer: Speculation about the Director General Brigadier (Rtd) Peter Magosi’s alleged exit originated from the media and not from the Directorate. We have repeatedly indicated, following previous similar media queries, that these allegations are unfounded. The Director General has not resigned nor has he been forced to resign. The media allegations you refer to are not borne out of facts since Brigadier (Rtd) Magosi is and has continued to be the Director General of this Directorate.
