“On Brown Mogotsi’s testimony… I see the reactors are rushing to ridicule already. Hold your horses, then watch this video over and over until you know what to look for. Don’t forget, this whole story started with Senzo Mchunu denying knowing Brown, now he has a cover story about it!”

In the video, Baloyi claimed that Brown Mogotsi had supplied Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi with reliable intel.

“I want us to ask ourselves a very important question: when did Mkhwanazi say that Brown Mogotsi has given him incorrect intelligence? Why is it that every time Mkhwanazi spoke about his interactions with Brown Mogotsi, the evidence that he was given about the claims that Mogotsi was making to him was verified and has always been verifiable?” Baloyi said.

He claimed that Brown Mogotsi had informed Lieutenant General Mkhwanazi about the disbandment of the Political Killings Taskforce Team (PKTT).

“You must remember the disbanding of the PKTT; that information came from Brown Mogotsi. That's how Mkhwanazi got it. Every single thing that has ever come out of Brown Mogotsi has always come to pass,” Baloyi said.

Nota Baloyi argued that the only time Brown Mogotsi has been found lying is the claim that he was instructed to stage the shooting incident a few weeks before his appearance before the Madlanga Commission.

“The only doubt in the evidence that Brown Mogotsi has given is that thing that he was told to go and do, where he was told to make it seem as if there was a hit on him. That's the first time that Brown Mogotsi has been found wanting. First and only time. Why would he want to destroy his own credibility if he is an agent?” he added.
