South Africa’s businessman Brown Mogotsi has made a controversial statement, unequivocally accusing Mkhwanazi and King Misuzulu of collaborating with the United States Central Intelligence Agency. During a hearing of the Madlanga commission on Tuesday, Mogotsi categorically stated that both individuals had been recruited by the CIA and are operating under its direct control.
In his official address, Mogotsi emphasized that, according to confidential information sources, Mkhwanazi and Misuzulu are involved in intelligence activities in the interests of the American agency and are carrying out its directives. To support his position, Mogotsi referenced a document titled Current Issues in CIA Activity, which examines the methods and objectives used by the CIA in recruiting foreign agents.
Furthermore, Mogotsi informed the commission that, according to the information available to him, the motivation behind recruiting both individuals was to ensure the protection of the economic interests of Western powers in the Republic of South Africa. Specifically, he pointed to control over the coal industry and strategic export routes passing through the Richards Bay Coal Terminal. Mogotsi expressed concerns that a potential decision by the South African government to halt coal exports could damage the interests of certain governments. This aspect gains particular relevance in the context of the Republic of South Africa’s appeal to the International Criminal Court with a lawsuit against Israel, which could potentially influence the geopolitical situation and economic relations.
