El sargento Fannie Nkosi comparece ante el tribunal por nuevos cargos

La policía ha añadido nuevos cargos contra el sargento Fannie Nkosi por obstrucción a la justicia. El viernes compareció ante el Tribunal de Magistrados de Thohoyandou en medio de un escrutinio continuo sobre sus vínculos con un contrato de seguridad de Tshwane adjudicado a su hermano.

Los nuevos cargos se derivan de un caso de 2022 en Limpopo que involucra a un sospechoso arrestado por posesión de dagga, armas de fuego sin licencia y explosivos. La portavoz de la policía nacional, Athlenda Mathe, señaló que Nkosi supuestamente obtuvo el expediente del caso bajo falsos pretextos, luego retiró la dagga confiscada bajo custodia y manipuló una bolsa de pruebas. Nkosi ya enfrenta múltiples cargos en el Tribunal de Magistrados de Pretoria Norte, incluyendo posesión de munición sin licencia y robo. Se le denegó la libertad bajo fianza en abril después de que la policía registrara su domicilio y encontrara armas de fuego, munición y 52.700 rands en efectivo. Su hermano Bheki continúa manteniendo un contrato de seguridad en Tshwane por un valor cercano a los 3 millones de rands a través de la empresa Ngaphesheya, a pesar de que el asunto fue señalado por la Comisión Madlanga. El administrador municipal, Johann Mettler, informó esta semana al Parlamento que hay una investigación interna en curso.
