DIS officers seek tribunal authority over Magosi

Officers from the Directorate of Intelligence and Security DIS are reframing their legal dispute with the spy unit, asserting it is a broader struggle for the rule of law. The 106 applicants, led by Lucky Kgabeng, argue that the DIS's failure to adhere to a Tribunal order extends beyond financial disagreements and challenges the authority of the courts. Their recent court submissions emphasize that the core issue before the Tribunal on Intelligence and Security is whether a state institution can disregard a court order without repercussions. The applicants state that the rationale for contempt of court is crucial for the administration of justice, requiring compliance with court orders, and that such disregard cannot be tolerated.
