# North West businessman Brown Mogotsi plans to sue the state for malicious prosecution and unlawful arrest following his detention on Friday after testifying before the Madlanga Commission. Mogotsi faces allegations of staging an attempted hit on his life in Vosloorus last year. His lawyer, William Sekgatja, says the arrest was unnecessary and a summons should have been used. Mogotsi denies the claims, while investigators link the firearm involved to violent crimes. He is expected to appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court today, facing charges of defeating the ends of justice.
