The Boksburg Advertiser understands that the SAPS is investigating an apparent hit on Brown Mogotsi, a controversial businessman and a prominent figure in the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry into alleged criminal activity, political interference, and corruption in the South African criminal justice system.

Watch a video of the bullet-riddled car in which Mogotsi was reportedly travelling:

SAPS national spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe confirmed the probe while speaking to journalists during a televised media briefing in Vosloorus.

She told journalists that an SAPS team will collect evidence from the scene of the apparent hit on Mogotsi’s life.

The car, a red Chevrolet sedan, in which he was reportedly travelling, was riddled with bullets by gunmen driving a white bakkie in Vosloorus on October 3.

However, Mogotsi has not yet opened a case. Vosloorus police are still expecting him to report to the station to lay a charge of attempted murder.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information on the incident becomes available.
