Brown Mogotsi appears before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry on 15 May 2026.
Madlanga Commission Chief Evidence leader Matthew Chaskalson has presented evidence in Pretoria indicating that alleged political fixer Brown Mogotsi was never an undercover agent.
Chaskalson submitted an affidavit from a colonel in the Crime Intelligence division, stating that Mogotsi had never formed part of its undercover agent programme.
During proceedings, Mogotsi again refused to answer questions put to him by Chaskalson, saying he did not want to incriminate himself.
Mogotsi had earlier been ordered by the Commission to continue giving evidence after his recusal application against Chaskalson was dismissed.
Chaskalson: “So, the person charged with maintaining all of the records of undercover agents in the South African Police Service Criminal Intelligence Division, denies that you were ever an undercover agent. Do you have a response to that?”
Mogotsi: “I responded in Parliament. This person only got appointed in 2024. I know how he got appointed. I know where he used to work. He can never know me. Therefore, I would not want to implicate myself.”
