State opposes Mogotsi’s bail bid, citing alleged escape plan
State opposes Mogotsi's latest bail bid claims that he had been planning an escape
The state has vehemently opposed Brown Mogotsi's fourth bid for bail, alleging that he had a plan to escape from the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court cells during his court appearance on August 20. According to the state's affidavit, Mogotsi intended to don a Correctional Services uniform as a disguise and subsequently make his getaway.
The defense was caught off guard by this claim, resulting in the matter being adjourned to September 1 for a report from Correctional Services regarding the alleged escape plan. The state contends that the new addresses Mogotsi has provided as part of his bail bid are also questionable, as he has not previously mentioned them. Mogotsi will have to wait another week to determine if his latest bail bid will be successful.
