Magosi accused of threatening to kill DCEC investigator

Directorate of Intelligence and Security Services (DIS) Director General, Brigadier Peter Magosi is accused of death threats against a Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) investigator.

Magosi allegedly issued death threats against DCEC’s Tshepo Pilane who is reported to be conducting a corruption investigation against the DIS boss.

In a letter, a copy of which has been passed to the Sunday Standard, Pilane states that he informed the Director General of DCEC Botlhale Makgekgenene that he did not report the matter to the Police “in order not to pre-empt any guidance that I may receive from your office on the matter.” Pilane revealed that he had made the Commissioner of Police Dinah Marathe aware of Magosi’s conduct. This was through a letter dated 6th September 2024 addressed to Makgekgenene which was also copied to Marathe, the Minister of Defence and Security, Kagiso Mmusi and Permanent Secretary to the President, Emma Peloetletse.
