Brown Mogotsi’s 12 police dockets: NPA closes the door on reopening cases

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) in North West has concluded that it found no grounds to reopen 12 police dockets involving businessman Brown Mogotsi. The NPA received the dockets from the South African Police Service (SAPS) following a request made earlier this year, which included allegations of kidnapping, murder, assault, reckless and negligent driving, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH), and defeating the ends of justice.

North West provincial police spokesperson Colonel Adéle Myburgh confirmed that SAPS had received and submitted the dockets to the NPA for further scrutiny. After reviewing the 12 dockets, the NPA determined that the matters had been handled in accordance with the law, and the decisions made were correct. The NPA is satisfied with the manner in which the cases were dealt with and has no plans to reopen the matters.
