Overview

  • The South African Police Service confirmed officers were at Mogotsi’s business in Seweding, Mahikeng, on Thursday evening.
  • National spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said the visit forms part of an ongoing investigation already canvassed by the commission and the parliamentary committee.
  • The Madlanga Commission notified Mogotsi on October 7 to respond to allegations within five days, and he told SABC News he was aware of the police presence but was not on site.
  • Residents in Seweding criticized the police action and voiced concerns about Mogotsi’s safety ahead of potential commission proceedings.
  • The latest police action follows recent searches at the homes of suspended deputy national commissioner Shadrack Sibiya and ministerial chief of staff Cedrick Nkabinde, as inquiries examine WhatsApp messages and payment records linking Mogotsi to Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala.
