Justice Pusoentsi Mojapelo of the Botswana High Court has ordered the state to release the properties of the late Isaac Kgosi, former Directorate on Intelligence and Security DIS head, after they remained frozen for seven years.
The court described the prolonged restraint of Kgosi’s assets as an abuse of the law, stating that the state had failed to conclude its investigations despite the extended period. Justice Mojapelo noted that investigations into Kgosi began around 2011 or 2012, but an ex parte order to restrain his property was only obtained in July 2019. The court also ordered the respondents to pay costs on an attorney-and-client scale.

Debswana has delisted eight companies from its supplier database following an investigation that confirmed violations of anti-fronting provisions within the diamond mining company's P21 billion Citizen Economic Empowerment Programme CEEP. This action follows an engagement with external consultants to investigate widespread allegations of fronting within the CEEP. The CEEP was designed to empower citizen enterprises by redirecting P20 billion in Debswana procurement, aiming to create 20,000 jobs between 2019 and 2024, a goal it reportedly exceeded.
