I even interviewed some who claimed to have been harassed and abused in the process of the DIS investigations. As a journalist, I never thought I was immune from law enforcement agencies. In fact, in 2015 the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC) took me in for questioning following a story I had written. I actually got a call from my then Managing Editor, Shike Olsen, calling me to the Botswana Gazette office as there were some DCEC officers looking for me. I took a combi and went to the office and we engaged with the officers.
