Brown Mogotsi court case postponed to 3 August

Lawyers representing alleged political fixer, Brown Mogotsi, say they will be appealing both decisions by the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court to deny him bail.

The first application was denied due to inconsistencies with Mogotsi's address.

His lawyers then brought a second application, which was also denied after the court found that it was not based on new facts, and that Mogotsi allegedly tried to interfere with witnesses.

The state has also provided footage to the defence which it says will prove there was no attempt on Mogotsi's life.

He faces charges including perjury, defeating the ends of justice, and unlawful firearm possession for allegedly staging an assassination attempt on his life in Vosloorus.

The matter has been postponed to the 3rd of August.
