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.
Brown Mogotsi's bid for freedom now rests with the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court after prosecutors painted a picture of a businessman who allegedly staged his own assassination attempt, misled investigators and attempted to interfere with the police investigation.
The North West businessman is seeking bail on charges including perjury, defeating the ends of justice, unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, and discharging a firearm in a public place.
The charges stem from allegations that Mogotsi orchestrated a fake assassination attempt in Vosloorus in November 2025.
After hearing arguments from both the State and defence, the court reserved judgment until Thursday, when it will decide whether Mogotsi will be released on bail.
