Brown Mogotsi’s fourth bail bid denied
The court found that the addresses presented by Mogotsi were not new facts.
North West businessman Brown Mogotsi has been denied bail for a fourth time by Johannesburg Magistrate's Court. The court dismissed his latest application, noting that the addresses he provided were not new information, as they had been examined in previous bail hearings. Moreover, the court deemed Mogotsi a flight risk, citing allegations of a potential escape and found it unjust to release him on bail.
Mogotsi is accused of unlawful firearm possession, discharging a firearm in an urban area, perjury, and interfering with a police investigation, all tied to a fabricated attempted assassination in Vosloorus, Johannesburg in November of the previous year. He has been held in custody since May, with prosecutors vehemently opposing his release.
