Unravelling Brown Mogotsi’s conspiracies with Karyn Maughan
Loading player...
We begin this special edition of The Lead with the very latest charge from Madlanga Commission evidence leader, Matthew Chaskalson, that notorious North West businessman Brown Mogotsi lied under oath. Mogotsi’s claims read like a Cold War-era spy novel, but they appear to lack the evidence the commission so sorely needs to make concrete findings. The self-proclaimed Crime Intelligence contact agent, the alleged go-to guy between Gauteng’s criminal underworld and the now-suspended police minister, Senzo Mchunu, has claimed KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi is a CIA agent, which the commission has since poured cold water over. Specialist legal journalist Karyn Maughan updates us from Pretoria. Later, in our trending topic, US President Donald Trump claims – as his reason for not attending the G20 Leaders’ Summit – that Pretoria is exterminating people. Finally, the mid-1990s saw the Springboks dominate the rugby world, with On This Day in SA History.
