5 Charges, No Firearm – Brown Mogotsi Says He’ll Talk At The Right Time

Five charges. No firearm. No answers. That is what the state is sitting with and Brown Mogotsi is not talking yet.

Mogotsi faces five serious counts: defeating the ends of justice, perjury, illegal possession of a firearm, illegal possession of ammunition, and discharging a firearm in a public place. When journalists approached him, he refused to comment. His only words were that he would speak at the “right time.” Those standing near him said he looked rattled but he held himself together.

Police confirmed the charges but threw in a detail that stops you cold. The firearm allegedly used in the incident has not been found. That weapon is still missing. Without it, a critical piece of the state’s case has a hole in it that prosecutors cannot yet fill.

Perjury alongside illegal firearm charges tells you something about how investigators read this chain of events. They allegedly believe Mogotsi lied under oath at some point. That is not a minor detail perjury alone carries serious prison time, and stacked on top of four other counts, the picture gets darker the longer you look at it.

Outside the court, a woman in a faded blue work uniform sat on the steps and said nothing. She’d been there since the doors opened. She wasn’t moving until she knew something anything.

The question nobody can answer right now is where that firearm went and whether Mogotsi was the only one who knew.

If you live near this case — do you think the firearm will ever be found, or has it already disappeared for good? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, a midfielder for Kaizer Chiefs, has expressed his contentment with his recent performances as Amakhosi continue to gain momentum in the 2025/26 season. He has also opened up about his remarkable revival at the club.

Because of his performance against Sekhukhune United, the skilled midfielder has emerged as one of the Chiefs’ top players in recent weeks. His performance has garnered great appreciation from both fans and football pundits alike. A critical victory that assured the Glamour Boys’ return to continental football competition for the next season was achieved by the Glamour Boys thanks in large part to the contributions of Ngcobo.

After going through a period of inconsistency over the course of the last few seasons, the 25-year-old player claims that he is now loving football once again and is putting a significant amount of effort into developing every facet of his game.

While Ngcobo was speaking, he said, “For me, it’s all about growth and helping the team.” From behind the scenes, I’ve been putting in a lot of effort to develop my physical, mental, and tactical abilities. I am now experiencing a greater sense of self-assurance, and I would want to continue making constructive contributions whenever I am given the chance.

The attributes that previously made Ngcobo one of the most intriguing young talents in South African football were on full display during his performance against Sekhukhune United. The Chiefs were able to maintain their creative spark throughout the whole match because to his ability to manoeuvre between the lines, maintain his poise when in possession, and unlock defences.

The player who plays in the middle of the pitch said that one of the primary goals of the Kaizer Chiefs team for this season was to return to continental competition.

According to him, “Kaizer Chiefs should be playing in Africa.” The fans have a right to expect their team to once again compete at the greatest level; they deserve it. The fact that we have qualified for continental football is a step in the right way, even if we are aware that there is still a lot of work to be done.

The Chiefs have shown clear indications of progress under the leadership of head coach Nasreddine Nabi, notably in terms of structuring, disciplining, and maintaining consistency. To Ngcobo’s credit, the technical crew was instrumental in assisting him in regaining his self-assurance and encouraging players to perform to the best of their abilities.

“The coach has faith in us and consistently encourages us to express ourselves while maintaining our discipline. Personally, I have benefited a great deal from it,” he said.

Ngcobo’s return to form has also been well received by supporters, with many of them going to social media to express their admiration for his revitalised energy and impact in the middle of the pitch. Fans have the opinion that if the midfielder continues on his present path, he has the potential to become one of the most important individuals in the club’s history.

The Chiefs will be hoping that Ngcobo can continue to produce impactful performances as the 2025/26 campaign takes steam. This is because the Chiefs are attempting to achieve success on the home front while also preparing for a long-awaited return to the continental scene.
