The case against North West businessman and self-proclaimed political fixer Brown Mogotsi is expected back in the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
Mogotsi is facing several charges, including unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, perjury and defeating the ends of justice, linked to an alleged staged assassination attempt in Vosloorus, East Rand.
He has denied the allegations and remains in custody after being denied bail four times.
During previous proceedings, the court expressed concern over repeated delays, urging both parties to provide outstanding documents timeously.
This comes after the state requested more time to respond to the defence’s application, saying it had only received the documents on the morning of the hearing.
The defence had also expressed dissatisfaction with the state’s response, prompting an application to compel further particulars and disclosure.
The court is expected to hear the state’s response and determine how the matter will proceed.
