Brown Mogotsi é acusado de pressionar vizinha por causa de depoimento à polícia

O Estado acusou Brown Mogotsi de tentar intimidar sua vizinha para que ela alterasse um depoimento à polícia. A alegação surgiu durante o processo relacionado ao seu pedido de fiança. O caso foi adiado até 29 de junho para uma decisão sobre o pedido.

O promotor do Estado, advogado Thami Mpekana, alegou que Mogotsi tentou pressionar a vizinha Thandiwe Senokwane a mudar seu depoimento no dia 5 de junho de 2026. Isso ocorreu um dia após uma negativa de fiança anterior, ligada a detalhes conflitantes sobre sua residência.

Mpekana também contestou os registros de WiFi apresentados pela defesa. Ele observou que os documentos não incluíam Mogotsi ou sua esposa, Dorothy Lekhoaba, como usuários listados.

A magistrada Annalise Thlapi questionou ainda mais os registros. Ela observou que eles refletiam apenas débitos automáticos encerrados no ano anterior. A defesa ofereceu suporte adicional limitado para as alegações sobre o endereço de Mogotsi.
