'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.
