GAUTENG – Brown Mogotsi has accused Fikile Mbalula of trying to target Minister of Police, Senzo Mchunu.

Mogotsi, a North West businessman, hit back at the Secretary-General of the African National Congress (ANC) after his recent claims. Mbalula stated that Mogotsi was no longer a member of the party, adding that the party would not be associated with him if he were a member.

The ANC also distanced itself from Mogotsi after his name was mentioned numerous times during the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. During testimony by Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo, Mogotsi was painted out to be a middleman between the underworld and Police Minister Mchunu.

Mkhwanazi, the KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner, detailed how Mogotsi reached out to him. Khumalo shared screenshots of conversations between Mogotsi and attempted-murder accused, Vusimuzi "Cat" Matlala.

Mgotsi points to Mbalula’s skeletons

During an exclusive interview with SABC on 6 October 2025, Mgotsi touched on Mbalula’s utterances about him. He said that if he couldn’t be considered a member of the party because he was linked to corrupt individuals like Matlala, then Mbalula couldn’t as well because of his skeletons.

Mogotsi claimed that Mchunu was linked to feared Mamelodi taxi boss Vusi “Khekhe” Mathibela. Mogotsi stated that Mbabula was with Khekhe a few days before he murdered North West businessman, Wandile Bozwana. Khekhe remains behind bars for that murder. Mogotsi also claimed that Mbalula borrowed a million rand from Bozwana, but never paid it back.

He also claimed that Mbalula’s wife was embroiled in a housing scandal in the Free State, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t be the SG just because his partner was implicated.
