North West businessman, Brown Mogotsi
North West businessman Brown Mogotsi will be subpoenaed to appear before the Ad Hoc Committee investigating allegations raised by KZN Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi.
This comes after Mogotsi refused to appear before the committee unless his personal security detail is paid for by Parliament for seven days.
Mogotsi has been scheduled to appear before the Ad Hoc Committee Thursday and Friday.

Meanwhile, the committee also received a report on plans to have private investigator, Paul O’Sullivan, appear before it.
O’Sullivan has refused to appear physically, citing safety concerns and offered to testify virtually.
Parliamentary legal advisor Andile Tetyana says the proposal to subpoena O’Sullivan is before National Assembly Speaker Thoko Didiza.
Tetyana says a decision on whether the subpoena will be authorised will be made within the next two days.
“The issuing authorithy in respect of the summoning of the witnesses before this committee is the Speaker of the National Assembly. Accordingly, I’m advised that this matter is under advisement before the Speaker. Yesterday, I was ribbed that the Speaker will communicate a decision within a day or two.”
