Controversial ANC fixer Brown Mogotsi was only 14-years-old at the time he claims to have joined Umkhonto We Sizwe (MK) operations.
During his jaw-dropping and incoherent evidence at the Madlanga commission on Tuesday, Mogotsi said that between 1993 and 1995 he was a member of ANC anti-apartheid military before he became a crime intelligence agent.
WATCH | #Mogotsi says that in December 2023 he received information that Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi and King Misuzulu was recruited by the US’s CIA.

According to the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission information, Mogotsi who turned 46 in August, would have been 14-years-old and new in high school when he allegedly joined the MK in 1993.
Even more bizarre, Mogotsi made this claim despite the fact that MK’s operations were suspended in 1990 and the unit was officially disbanded in 1994 ahead of the country’s first democratic elections in April 1994. However, he claimed to have worked for another additional year for the discontinued wing.
Mogotsi did not provide any tangible evidence to the commission regarding his links with MK. Most of his testimony was based on incoherent hearsay evidence.
