Self-proclaimed political fixer Brown Mogotsi is expected to appear before the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court on Friday as his defence continues its efforts to obtain additional information from the State.
Mogotsi is facing four charges arising from an alleged staged assassination attempt in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg.
The charges include unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition, discharging a firearm in a built-up area, perjury and defeating the ends of justice.
The prosecution alleges that Mogotsi fabricated the shooting incident and provided police with misleading information about the alleged attack.
His legal team is seeking further particulars, including cellphone records and details relating to State witnesses, arguing that the information is needed to prepare for trial.
The matter has been delayed by ongoing disputes over the disclosure of evidence, with the court expected to address the outstanding issues and the possible setting of a trial date.
Mogotsi remains in custody after previous bail applications were unsuccessful.
