Brown Mogotsi back in court for fourth bail bid
The Johannesburg Magistrate's Court will on Tuesday hear Mogotsi's fresh bail application
Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court is set to hear Brown Mogotsi's fourth bail application, a move that follows two dismissals by the same court and a rejection by the High Court in Johannesburg. The self-proclaimed political fixer, residing in the North West, is currently charged with perjury, obstructing justice, and unlawful firearm possession.
Allegedly, Mogotsi orchestrated his own assassination attempt in Vosloorus, a suburb east of Johannesburg. State prosecutor Thami Mpekane confirmed that the matter will once again be scheduled for bail consideration, citing the submission of new evidence. The arranged date for this proceeding is August 25. Security analyst Azaniah Mnisi has commented on the second interim report, which was submitted to the Presidency on May 29, 2026.
This report recommended additional measures against Lt-General Shadrack Sibiya, Sergeant Fannie Nkosi, Mogotsi, and Witness G.
