Brown Mogotsi Finally Meets Police After Alleged Assassination Attemp
Controversial businessman Brown Mogotsi has resurfaced and is now in discussions with police alongside his legal team following an alleged assassination attempt on his life earlier this week.
Meeting With Police After Days Of Uncertainty
According to reports, Mogotsi has agreed to provide investigators with a full statement about Monday night’s incident in Vosloorus, where he claims gunmen opened fire on his red Chevrolet Aveo. Three bullets reportedly struck the driver and passenger seats, though Mogotsi escaped uninjured.
His cooperation comes after weeks of police frustration. Authorities had been searching for him since October, after a raid at his North West business premises during which several digital devices were seized. The devices are believed to be linked to an ongoing investigation that Mogotsi is connected to.
A Trail Of Confusion
The alleged shooting occurred late on Monday, with police recovering 11 shell casings at the scene. Mogotsi initially refused to make a statement and later failed to arrive at the Vosloorus Police Station by the 8am deadline on Tuesday, prompting questions about his willingness to cooperate.
Now, sources confirm that Mogotsi and his lawyers are finally meeting with the South African Police Service (SAPS) to share his version of events.
Public Reaction And Speculation
On social media, the news has been met with a mix of skepticism and concern. Some South Africans are questioning whether the alleged hit was genuine or staged, echoing earlier warnings from police that Mogotsi could face a defeating the ends of justice charge if foul play is uncovered in his claims. Others, however, expressed shock at the possibility of an attempted assassination tied to a well-known businessman.
The Bigger Picture
This isn’t the first time Mogotsi has made headlines. His name has surfaced in several investigations tied to business irregularities and alleged criminal activity. The latest turn of events has deepened public curiosity about his dealings and whether this reported assassination attempt might be connected to ongoing probes.
As the Vosloorus police continue their investigation, Mogotsi’s statement could become a crucial piece in understanding whether this was a targeted attack or a staged distraction amid mounting legal pressure.
For now, one thing is clear the saga surrounding Brown Mogotsi is far from over, and South Africans are watching closely to see what truth emerges next.
