Businessman Brown Mogotsi is demanding that South Africa’s Parliament cover the cost of private security for his protection during his upcoming testimony before an ad hoc committee. Mogotsi has refused to appear without a security detail of his choosing, funded by Parliament.
Brown Mogotsi’s Security Demands
Mogotsi has requested seven days of private security, the cost of which he wants Parliament to bear. He has raised concerns about his safety ahead of his testimony, which relates to an ongoing police corruption probe.
The ad hoc committee is preparing to subpoena Mogotsi to compel his appearance. He previously refused to testify without a privately funded security detail.
Mogotsi’s demands have sparked controversy, with questions raised about the appropriateness of Parliament funding private security for a witness. The committee is now considering how to proceed in light of his conditions.
The businessman’s concerns come as he is expected to provide information related to allegations of corruption within the police service. Details of the corruption probe have not been publicly released.
