Overview
- South African police opened an attempted murder case after shots were fired at Brown Mogotsi’s car in Vosloorus on Monday night, with no injuries reported.
- Mogotsi told officers a white bakkie trailed him before gunfire erupted, and forensic teams collected ballistic and fingerprint evidence at the scene.
- SAPS says investigators have identified the owner of the white bakkie and are working to establish who was inside the vehicle.
- Police report that Mogotsi initially declined to open a case, citing fear for his life, and then missed a scheduled 8 a.m. appointment to give a statement with his lawyer.
- The Madlanga Commission confirms Mogotsi is safe and in contact over security arrangements, as public scepticism about the incident circulates on social media.
