Brown Mogotsi’s bid to have evidence leader, Adv. Matthew Chaskalson recused from his testimony has collapsed.
Madlanga Commission has dismissed Brown Mogotsi’s attempt to remove evidence leader Adv. Matthew Chaskalson, after claims that Chaskalson promised him immunity for implicating North West businessman Suliman Carrim.
“The matter is dismissed,” Commission chair, Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga ruled on Friday, adding that reasons for the decision would be provided next week or the week after.
The ruling came after Mogotsi’s legal team withdrew allegations that Chaskalson promised to protect him if he implicated North West businessman Suliman Carrim.
Mogotsi, who described himself as a police agent, had accused Chaskalson of trying to convince him to “throw” Carrim under the bus in exchange for assistance from the commission’s evidence leader.
