Brown Mogotsi was denied bail in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court.

Alleged political fixer Brown Mogotsi has been denied bail in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court.

He is accused of faking an assassination attempt on himself in Vosloorus in November last year.

Magistrate Annalise Tlhapi said Mogotsi had failed to provide an address where he could be traced. “The addresses provided by the applicant are not correct and don’t belong to the applicant,” said Tlhapi.

Mogotsi allegedly fired 11 rounds at his own car with an illegal firearm linked to other crimes. Eyewitnesses told police and the media that he had faked the incident.

Mogotsi was arrested shortly after giving evidence at the Madlanga Commission.
