The State in the case against self-proclaimed political fixer Brown Mogotsi says it has fully complied with the defence’s request for further particulars and disclosure.
Mogotsi is appearing in the Johannesburg Magistrates’ Court on Friday, facing several charges, including perjury, defeating the ends of justice and discharging a firearm in a public place.

The charges stem from allegations that he staged an assassination attempt on himself in Vosloorus in November last year.
State prosecutor Adv Thami Mpekana says the defence has already received the statements and evidence the State intends to rely on during the trial.
Mpekana says the additional information being sought, including cellphone and employment records of State witnesses, is either unavailable or irrelevant.
“The accused does not need the requested particulars to prepare for trial. Seeking this additional information can constitute an abuse of the right to further and better particulars. The information already provided enables the accused to prepare his defence, as he has the documents on which the State relies to prove its case.”
