Oupa Mogotsi’s Fourth Bail Hearing | Johannesburg News

Oupa Brown Mogotsi is back in court for his fourth bail hearing, accused of staging his own assassination attempt — allegedly shooting his car and faking a public attack. Facing charges like perjury and defeating justice, he claims he ditched his bodyguards to visit a traditional healer, seeking privacy as an African man, and tried to disguise his vehicle. He also challenges the CCTV evidence, arguing it doesn’t clearly show him firing a gun in public, and says he delayed reporting because he feared for his life. The prosecution counters that no new facts justify another hearing and highlights his lack of fixed address as a flight risk — after previous denials even by the High Court. Mogotsi insists he’s innocent and just wants to live normally, though he’ll still need protection. The court will rule on his latest bid for freedom by September 22nd.
