Video footage shows the extent of the damage

Following the recovery of the vehicle by SAPS, video footage surfaced showing the extent of the damage suffered. The video showed that one gunshot pierced the windscreen, while both the driver’s side and passenger side windows were also broken as a result of the shooting.

Glass littered the inside of the vehicle from the smashed windows. There were also several bullet holes found on the driver’s side of the vehicle, and what appeared to be a bullet hole in the front seat where the passenger would sit.

The person recording the video also remarked that there were no signs of blood. Mogotsi initially claimed that he noticed he was being followed by a white bakkie when the occupants opened fire on his vehicle.

He has yet to open a case at the Vosloorus Police Station, despite indicating that he would by 8 am on Tuesday, 04 November 2025.
