JOHANNESBURG - The State says political fixer Brown Mogotsi planned to escape from court during his appearance on 20 August 2026.
This emerged from Mogotsi's fourth bail bid at the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court.
Mogotsi faces charges linked to an alleged staged assassination attempt in November 2025 in Vosloorus.
The North West political fixer is charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition,
perjury and defeating the ends of justice.
The state has also previously raised concerns about witness intimidation and protecting their identities.
It's alleged that Mogotsi's wife visited one of the witnesses after their address was revealed.
