Police say the firearm used in the alleged assassination attempt of Brown Mogotsi in Vosloorus, east of Johannesburg in November last year, has been positively linked to several other cases. 
Mogotsi is facing a string of charges including perjury, defeating the ends of justice, possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition as well as discharging a firearm in a municipal area. 
Police say the charges relate to the assassination attempt, which they say was staged. Mogotsi appeared briefly at the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court this morning, where his case was postponed to Monday, next week for a bail application.
