Businessman Brown Mogotsi rejected explosive claims by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, calling the allegations poorly timed and baseless.
Speaking exclusively to SABC News, Mogotsi, whom Police Minister Senzo Mchunu described as a “comrade”, dismissed any wrongdoing.
Mogotsi Questions the Timing of Claims
Mogotsi criticised Mkhwanazi’s press briefing and said, “The timing is very inappropriate.”
He said, “I sent him a message last year, but only after the arrest of five generals and some brigadiers did he call a press conference.”
Mogotsi said he was not a police officer and added cryptically, “With my underground experience or underground operations. I’ll be able to share on the right platform who Brown Mogotsi is.”
Named in the Task Team Disbandment Row
Mkhwanazi had named Mogotsi as being central to alleged political interference and the controversial disbandment of the KZN Political Killings Task Team.
The police commissioner also accused Minister Mchunu of unauthorised interference and maintaining links with criminal syndicates.
Do you believe Brown Mogotsi’s denial, or should there be an independent inquiry into his alleged role in police interference?
