Brown Mogotsi_Brown Mogotsi205 Prosecutors have urged the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court to deny bail to Brown Mogotsi, alleging he staged an assassination attempt, misled investigators and attempted to interfere with the administration of justice.

The Johannesburg Magistrate's Court is expected to rule on North West businessman Brown Mogotsi's bail application.

The State has opposed the application, arguing that he should remain in custody.

Prosecutors allege witnesses saw Mogotsi exit his vehicle, fire shots at it and later claim there had been an attempt on his life.

The State further alleged that Mogotsi attempted to bribe a police officer in connection with his bail application and provided investigators with an incorrect residential address.
