  Brown Mogotsi To Stay In Custody After Intense Court Hearing ‎‎Brown Mogotsi appeared in court today as tensions rose over delays in verifying his residential address ahead of a formal bail application. ‎‎The defense argued that keeping Mogotsi in custody for another 7 days was excessive, especially after the state had already received the full address details. Lawyers pushed for a shorter postponement until Thursday, saying the state should have prepared logistics in advance for verification. ‎The prosecution responded that the address was only recently provided and insisted more time was needed before deciding its position on bail. Heated exchanges followed as the court debated fairness, procedure, and the accused’s time already spent behind bars.‎In the end, the magistrate ruled in favor of the state, postponing the matter to Monday, 25 May, for address verification and a formal bail application. Brown Mogotsi will remain in custody until then. ‎‎#BrownMogotsi #CourtDrama #Sou...
