Reports link Cyril Ramaphosa campaign to shadowy figure at the heart of cop scandal
Brown Mogotsi, once a key lobbyist for the President's 2017 ANC leadership bid, is now accused of acting as a go-between for Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and alleged crime boss 'Cat' Matlala. He is the shadowy figure at the heart of explosive allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi – and in the past, he has aligned himself strongly with the politics of President Cyril Ramaphosa. Media reports from around 2017 show that Brown Mogotsi was a fairly high‑profile lobbyist for the ANC presidential campaign of Ramaphosa before the party's elective conference at Nasrec in December 2017. A Sunday Times report from May 2017 names Mogotsi as the 'organiser' of a pro-Ramaphosa lobby group that included regional and provincial ANC leaders. At the time, Mogotsi publicly urged Ramaphosa to leave his Cabinet post if then President Jacob Zuma would not endorse Ramaphosa as his successor. A year later, a Daily Maverick article would refer to Mogotsi as a 'known Ramaphosa campaigner in North West', at the time taking court action against Ramaphosa's perceived political enemies. The Presidency had not responded to Daily Maverick's questions about the nature of Ramaphosa's relationship with Mogotsi, if any, by the time of publication. But the apparent overlap of political circles raises further uncomfortable issues for an administration that came to power on a reformist agenda – and is now being accused of being in unsettling proximity to a complex criminal web. Mogotsi alleged to be go-between for criminal and police minister In Mkhwanazi's provocative 6 July press conference, he accused Mogotsi of acting as an intermediary between Police Minister Senzo Mchunu and alleged criminal Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, who Mkhwanazi claims is at 'the centre of a sophisticated criminal syndicate operating at the highest levels of the state'. The allegations would subsequently see Ramaphosa place Mchunu on suspension pending an investigation. In particular, Mkhwanazi alleged that there are phone records showing communications and financial transactions between Mchunu, Mogotsi and Matlala, with Matlala allegedly providing Mchunu and Mogotsi with financial support in exchange for having investigations into him lifted. Critical to all this is Mchunu's disbanding of the Political Killings Task Team in December 2024. One of Mkhwanazi's claims is that the task team was going after Matlala, and that it was Mogotsi who sent Matlala a message to tell him that the task team would be disbanded. Mkhwanazi has yet to provide any public evidence of his claims. But Mchunu did himself no favours in the court of public opinion by seeming to do a U-turn on the question of whether he knew Mogotsi. In Parliament in March, Mchunu claimed to have no association with Mogotsi. Yet in a statement on 9 July, in response to the Mkhwanazi press conference, Mchunu said that he 'knows and has met Mr Brown Mogotsi', but described him as 'just a comrade and not an associate of the minister'. In papers lodged on Wednesday, 23 July, in response to the MK party's legal challenge to Mchunu's suspension, Mchunu conceded that he had 'interacted with Mr Mogotsi since 2017, in the presence of other comrades'. Mchunu elaborated further: 'He is a comrade, as we are members of the same political party and have engaged on party and service delivery matters on a number of occasions'. Who is Brown Mogotsi? The man from North West who campaigned so ardently for Ramaphosa in 2017 is shrouded in mystery. Company records scrutinised by Daily Maverick show that Mogotsi was previously listed as a director of some eight companies, including one called 'North West Crimebusters'. All are registered as inactive today. Mogotsi described himself to the Sunday Times in 2017 as an 'ordinary ANC member', but City Press recorded earlier this month that he is 'close to the top echelons of the ANC, including several ministers, especially those who served in MK'. City Press also described him as owning an upmarket bar in Mafikeng from where he is known to 'summon HODs and MECs for instructions on tenders'. Exactly where this apparent political muscle stems from is unclear. Perhaps most curious has been Mogotsi's habit of trying to meddle in provincial politics through a vehicle called the Brown Mogotsi Foundation. Through this, he was instrumental in forcing then North West Premier Supra Mahumapelo out of office in 2018, at least partly because of Mahumapelo's support for Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, rather than Ramaphosa, at the ANC's 2017 Nasrec conference. Most recently, Mogotsi claimed to be an undercover police informant who played a role in the arrest of fugitive rapist Thabo Bester. This smacks of fantasy – but Mogotsi does seem to have access to police intel, if you believe Mkhwanazi. The KZN police commissioner said in his press briefing that Mogotsi had messaged him last September with a picture of a register that is only supposed to be accessible to police. Mogotsi also appears to have knowledge of the law from the other side: he reportedly has at least three previous criminal convictions, including one for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. Mkhwanazi allegations are a political firestorm for Ramaphosa To understand why Mkhwanazi's claims amount to such a political headache for Ramaphosa, it's helpful to revisit the political context leading up to the ANC's elective conference at Nasrec in 2017. Senzo Mchunu was one of Ramaphosa's closest allies and was endorsed by Ramaphosa as his preferred candidate, on his 'slate', for secretary general. Mchunu was absolutely critical to Ramaphosa's campaigning because his constituency was in KwaZulu-Natal: the ANC's largest province by membership, and whose delegates to the elective conference were expected to fall in line with former president Jacob Zuma's endorsement and vote for Dlamini Zuma. Throughout the campaign, Mchunu leveraged his regional influence to rally ANC branches and delegates in support of Ramaphosa's message of reform. Notably, local ANC structures that aligned with Mchunu and Ramaphosa faced pushback from the Zuma-aligned KZN leadership; for instance, the ANC's KZN provincial executive committee moved to disband the Lower South Coast regional leadership, which had been campaigning for Ramaphosa, a move widely seen as an attempt to thwart that region's pro-Ramaphosa campaign. This illustrates how Mchunu actively mobilised support for Ramaphosa, triggering resistance from the opposing faction in the province. Mchunu's political role in KZN significantly influenced the dynamics of the 2017 Nasrec conference. By delivering a portion of the KZN delegates to Ramaphosa, Mchunu materially helped narrow the gap between Ramaphosa and Dlamini Zuma. And although it may have been the recently deceased David Mabuza whose Mpumalanga delegates ultimately handed victory to Ramaphosa, Mchunu's contribution cannot be discounted. Mchunu himself would narrowly (and controversially) lose the secretary-general position at that conference to Ace Magashule. But Ramaphosa went on to repay Mchunu for his support with a series of Cabinet posts in which his brand has been low-visibility and also low-controversy. 'While some of Mchunu's leading contemporaries in the ANC have been entangled in one form of scandal or another while amassing fortunes dubiously, the former teacher has largely stayed clear of adverse publicity,' veteran KwaZulu-Natal journalist Cyril Madlala wrote of him in Daily Maverick. That all changed for Mchunu on 6 July with Mkhwanazi's press conference. How much truth is there in the Mkhwanazi allegations? Ramaphosa has acted swiftly on the Mkhwanazi claims: suspending Mchunu and establishing a commission of inquiry to be helmed by Acting Deputy Chief Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga. The President has also suddenly taken action against South Gauteng director of public prosecutions Andrew Chauke – almost two years after National Prosecuting Authority boss Shamila Batohi wrote to Ramaphosa to request his suspension, citing serious concerns about Chauke'sconduct in office – multiple questionable decisions, delays and failures to prosecute high-profile cases involving State Capture and corruption. When Daily Maverick asked the Presidency this week if Ramaphosa's sudden action on Chauke was prompted by the Mkhwanazi press conference, spokesperson Vincent Magwenya demurred, saying: 'The Chauke matter predates Mkhwanazi's allegations.' Yet it is notable that among Mkhwanazi's allegations was that the criminal syndicate he claims to have identified includes 'prosecutors in Gauteng province'. Many South Africans have expressed gratitude to Mkhwanazi for having seemingly prompted unusually decisive action from Ramaphosa – despite the fact that Mkhwanazi's claims remain wholly untested. It remains to be seen what evidence Mkhwanazi will turn over to the Madlanga Commission. But one aspect of the claims – that Mchunu ordered the shuttering of the Political Killings Task Team in December 2024 – did attract attention at the time for being a strange decision. One KwaZulu-Natal expert termed it 'bizarre' at the time, on the grounds that political assassinations tend to increase ahead of local government elections, which are scheduled for 2026. If the commission confirms Mkhwanazi's claims, it will mark a dramatic fall from grace for a political grouping heralded in 2017 as ushering in a new climate of clean governance in stark contrast to the dark days of State Capture.

'Timing is inappropriate': Mogotsi on Mkhwanazi's claims
Businessman Brown Mogotsi rejected explosive claims by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, calling the allegations poorly timed and baseless. Speaking exclusively to SABC News , Mogotsi, whom Police Minister Senzo Mchunu described as a 'comrade', dismissed any wrongdoing. Mogotsi criticised Mkhwanazi's press briefing and said, 'The timing is very inappropriate.' He said, 'I sent him a message last year, but only after the arrest of five generals and some brigadiers did he call a press conference.' Mogotsi said he was not a police officer and added cryptically, 'With my underground experience or underground operations. I'll be able to share on the right platform who Brown Mogotsi is.' Mkhwanazi had named Mogotsi as being central to alleged political interference and the controversial disbandment of the KZN Political Killings Task Team. The police commissioner also accused Minister Mchunu of unauthorised interference and maintaining links with criminal syndicates.

He called me before he made explosive allegations: Brown Mogotsi hits back at Lt-Gen Mkhwanazi
North West businessman Brown Mogotsi has condemned the timing of the accusations from KZN police commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi. Image: Screenshot/SABC News North West businessman Brown Mogotsi, a 'comrade' of Police Minister Senzo Mchunu, has broken his silence and denied explosive allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal provincial police commissioner Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, saying the 'timing is very inappropriate'. Mogotsi is at the center of Mkhwanazi's claims that senior political figures and top police officials were involved in the controversial disbandment of the Political Killings Task Team in KZN. He criticised the timing of Mkhwanazi's recent media briefing. 'The timing is very inappropriate,' Mogotsi said in an exclusive interview with SABC News.

With my underground experience or underground operations, I'll be able to share on the right platform who Brown Mogotsi really is.' Mogotsi, now under intense scrutiny over alleged political interference and ties to organized crime, was named by Mkhwanazi in a bombshell briefing in Durban. Mkhwanazi accused Mchunu of unauthorised interference in police operations and maintaining contact with criminal syndicates. He also alleged that Mchunu ordered the disbandment of the task team in March 2025 and the withdrawal of 121 active dockets, many tied to political assassinations. 'These dockets have been sitting idle at head office ever since,' he said. He presented internal SAPS communications, WhatsApp messages, and forensic cellphone data as evidence of what he described as a coordinated effort to shut down the unit. Mkhwanazi also claimed Mogotsi had direct contact with individuals under investigation, including Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, a businessman awarded a R360 million police contract in 2024. According to Mkhwanazi, Mogotsi assured Matlala via WhatsApp that the unit had been dissolved and that Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya, SAPS deputy national commissioner for crime detection, had taken control of the case files. Evidence allegedly also linked Mogotsi, Mchunu, and Matlala through financial transactions tied to political events and a gala dinner. 'The disbandment of the task team was not a mistake. It was a deliberate attempt to shield an organized criminal syndicate with deep roots in our law enforcement, political, and judicial systems,' Mkhwanazi said. Since its establishment in July 2018, the Political Killings Task Team investigated 612 dockets, secured over 100 convictions, and helped crack syndicate-linked murders in Gauteng and at the University of Fort Hare. Mkhwanazi said pressure to disband the unit grew after its ballistic experts linked weapons found in Gauteng to several high-profile killings, including cases involving South African musicians. Shortly after, Mchunu allegedly ordered the unit disbanded and froze intelligence appointments. In a December 2024 letter to National Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Fannie Masemola, Mchunu stated the unit, created following the Moerane Commission report, had outlived its usefulness. However, Masemola later denied authorising the unit's closure. In March, Mchunu told Parliament he did not know Mogotsi. But on July 9, he acknowledged their relationship. 'He is just a comrade, not an associate. I've never requested or received anything from him,' Mchunu said in a statement. Meanwhile, Mogotsi denied receiving police information from Mchunu and insisted the data he referenced came from elsewhere. 'This environment - information comes to you,' he said. 'The proper platform will give me an opportunity to say where this and this come from.' Mogotsi also criticised the SAPS chain of command and raised concerns about one senior officer, Major General Philani Lushaba, claiming he opened a false housebreaking case after a woman he brought home from a nightclub allegedly disappeared with a state laptop and phone. 'I'm not questioning his age or position, but there are people with similar qualifications who have served 30 years and remain captains or warrant officers,' Mogotsi said. Last month, IOL News reported that SAPS Crime Intelligence Chief Operations Officer (CFO) Lushaba allegedly vanished as the NPA's Investigating Directorate prepared to question him over financial misconduct. The investigation centers on two property deals worth over R45 million - a R22.7 million boutique hotel in Pretoria North and a R22.8 million commercial property in Berea, Durban. Mogotsi reiterated that the allegations raised by Mkhwanazi were poorly timed. 'You'll be surprised… Just before his press conference, he called me. He spoke about the need to save the country and said any officer could now use a J-50 warrant to arrest another,' he said. 'So I was very surprised on Sunday to hear him bringing this thing again.' Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa is scheduled to address the nation at 7pm on Sunday. Opposition parties have called for Mchunu's dismissal, with the Democratic Alliance urging Ramaphosa to act as he did with expelling its deputy Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition Andrew Whitfield for an unauthorised trip.

Mchunu told Parliament he would not even recognise the man's face, but later acknowledged the relationship. According to DA Deputy Chief Whip MP Baxolile Nodada, who was flanked by fellow DA senior officials Dianne Kohler Barnard and Lisa Schickerling, Mchunu's actions are a breach of the Powers and Privileges Act and the Parliamentary Code of Conduct. 'Mchunu told Parliament he did not know Mr Brown Mogotsi, who is linked to a criminal syndicate and the capture of the South African Police Service,' said Nodada. 'On 9 July, he said Mogotsi was his comrade. That's a direct contradiction and a deliberate lie to Parliament, which breaks Section 27 and the Powers and Privileges Act.' Nodada said the DA expected President Cyril Ramaphosa to act but accused him of remaining silent. 'If the President refuses to act against ministers who protect corruption and are linked to criminal syndicates, the DA will continue to take action.' DA Shadow Minister for State Security Kohler Barnard said there is precedent for criminal charges over misleading Parliament. 'In 2013, then-minister Dina Pule was held accountable. Tony Yengeni lied to Parliament and served time in prison. Lying to Parliament is a criminal offence.' Kohler Barnard added that the party would also use the Joint Standing Committee on Intelligence and other relevant parliamentary platforms to push for full investigations into the allegations, including links to criminal syndicates within the SAPS. She confirmed that seven Crime Intelligence members have recently been arrested and more arrests may follow. The MK Party lodged a case against Mchunu and Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya at the Brooklyn police station, alleging that they are guilty of obstructing and defeating the course of justice, abuse of power, and criminal conspiracy. According to the party's spokesperson, Nhlamulo Ndhlela, Mchunu's actions in disbanding the Political Killings Task Team in KwaZulu-Natal were unlawful and aimed at undermining lawful investigations. 'We refuse to stand idle in the face of injustice and remain dedicated to upholding the course of the law,' said Ndhlela in a statement. 'Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya has been similarly charged with obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence through the unlawful redirection of case dockets. His charges also include breaching sections 6, 8 and 11 of the South African Police Service Act 68 of 1995, dereliction of duty and participating in criminal conspiracy alongside Minister Mchunu.' Sibiya is faced with additional charges of defeating the ends of justice and potential fraud or forgery, particularly if it is found that the disbandment letter in question was unauthorised or falsified, according to Ndhlela. The EFF has also lodged a complaint with the Ethics Committee of Parliament against Mchunu, accusing him of interfering with the KwaZulu-Natal branch of the SAPS and violating the Constitution and the Executive Members' Ethics Act. EFF MP Nontando Nolutshungu said Mchunu's actions were a clear breach of the law and parliamentary ethics.
