Political fixer and self-proclaimed undercover police agent, Brown Mogotsi faces charges of defeating the ends of justice. The case emanates from the alleged staging of an attempted assassination on the suspect’s life in Vosloorus. A firearm allegedly used in the incident had also been linked to other serious violent crimes, including murder and attempted murder cases. In November 2025 Mogotsi claimed unknown gunmen ambushed him while he was driving a red Chevrolet in Vosloorus. He alleged that attackers travelling in a white bakkie opened fire on his vehicle. Police later recovered about 11 bullet casings from the scene. Mogotsi is alleged to have staged his own hit.
