Thohoyandou – Suspended police sergeant Fannie Nkosi, who was arrested after firearms, ammunition, a hand grenade, and several case dockets were found at his Pretoria North home, is in more trouble.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe has revealed that the Commission’s Recommendations Investigative Task Team has brought additional charges of defeating and obstructing the course of justice against 42-year-old Sergeant Nkosi.
Sergeant Nkosi is now expected to appear before the Thohoyandou Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo today, Friday, 15 May 2026.
It is alleged that on 10 November 2022, a suspect was arrested for possession of dagga, unlicensed firearms, and explosives.
“Investigations indicate that Sergeant Nkosi fetched the original case docket under the pretext that he had been sent by Head Office,” said Brigadier Mathe.
“A few months later, he allegedly returned to Thohoyandou, identified himself as a Colonel from Head Office, and removed the confiscated dagga from police custody.
“He later booked in the exhibit at Head Office, but it was later discovered that one of the exhibit bags containing the dagga was tampered with.”
In that regard, Sergeant Nkosi, who has been in custody since his arrest last month, faces charges of defeating and obstructing the course of justice.
The accused has been denied bail.
