Brown Mogotsi's Bail Hearing: Court Hears Discrepancies in Address Verification

JOHANNESBURG, GAUTENG— A police officer testified that the residential address supplied by Brown Mogotsi differed from the one he verified. He spoke in court on 28 May 2026 during bail proceedings at the Johannesburg Magistrates Court after his arrest on 15 May 2026.

MDN News posted a video of the proceedings on its @MDNNewss X account. The officer was requested on 25 May 2026 to follow up on a residential address verification of the applicant. A PIN location was supplied as per the applicant's supplementary statement. On 27 May 2026 he visited the pin location in Mahikeng. At the location he found a residential address.

There was no street number displayed at the house. He met a female resident who identified herself as Dorothy Lukwaba. She produced her ID. The officer took a photo of the ID.

He asked her for the house number. She provided a number. This did not correspond with the house number in the affidavit. She pointed out minimal clothing in the main bedroom but could not produce any personal documentation of the applicant.
