Isaac Kgosi speaks out

It is unclear to me why anybody who had cause to suspect me of having committed acts of corruption should prefer to report them to the media and not to law enforcement agencies, of which our country has at least a few. At no time have I, prior to the onslaught by the media, declined to cooperate with any investigation by any law enforcement agencies, nor do I intend to do so in the future.

I have considered, and have been hesitant, to engage with the Media and answer the allegations as I feared that that might compromise investigations which I was aware the Directorate of Corruption and Economic Crimes was conducting into some of the allegations which have appeared in the media. I now have been advised, in view of the fact that the publication of the accusations in the media continues and has reached new levels of hysteria, to offer my version to the degree that I am lawfully permitted to do. I have also been advised that my continued silence might be construed as an affirmation of my purported guilt.
