POLICE are investigating the scene of an alleged attempted murder involving Brown Mogotsi in Vosloorus Ext 25, near the N3 highway.
Mathe was speaking outside the Vosloorus police station, where they were waiting for Mogotsi to show up and open a case of attempted murder.
“Several attempts have been made to contact Mogotsi after he reportedly promised to visit the police station by 8am today to give his statement.
“We’re still waiting for his statement. We hope this incident was not staged; otherwise, he could face charges for defeating the ends of justice,” Mathe said.
It remains unclear where Mogotsi was headed to or coming from at the time of the incident. However, Mathe said the information at their disposal was that he was travelling alone.
She said preliminary reports suggest that a white bakkie had been following Mogotsi’s vehicle before the alleged attack occurred.
According to Mathe, police who attended the scene found no signs of injury or blood, only damage to the vehicle.
She said the SAPS is unsure whether Mogotsi will come forward voluntarily, adding that his cooperation has been inconsistent in previous investigations.
Authorities are also conducting a pending search at his business premises in the North West, which has been on hold since October 16, she said.
Police are urging Mogotsi or anyone with information about the alleged attack to come forward.
