The Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court has postponed the case against political fixer and businessman Brown Mogotsi to 20 August following a dispute over outstanding docket material and the State’s decision to redact the identities and personal details of witnesses.
Mogotsi faces five charges of perjury, defeating or obstructing the administration of justice, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and discharging a firearm in a public or built-up area.
The charges stem from the State’s allegation that Mogotsi staged an assassination attempt on his own life in Vosloorus in November 2025 and subsequently gave police a false account of the incident.
