Self-proclaimed political fixer Brown Mogotsi returns to court
Self-proclaimed political fixer Brown Mogotsi is set to appear in Johannesburg Magistrate' Court
Political fixer Brown Mogotsi is set to return to Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. He faces charges including unlawful firearm possession, discharging a firearm in an urban area, perjury, and obstructing justice. These allegations stem from an alleged staged assassination attempt in Vosloorus, a suburb east of Johannesburg, last year.
At Mogotsi's last court appearance, his legal team requested additional information from the prosecution. They seek details about the state's witness, including cellphone records, employment records, and proof of residence for witnesses A5 and A6. Mogotsi's legal team also demands access to unredacted statements and images from video footage of the incident scene, claiming more disclosure is required to adequately prepare for the trial. The Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court has postponed Mogotsi's case to October 7, 2026.
