Police have added fresh charges against Sergeant Fannie Nkosi for defeating and obstructing the course of justice. He appeared before the Thohoyandou Magistrates’ Court on Friday amid ongoing scrutiny over his links to a Tshwane security contract held by his brother.
The new charges stem from a 2022 case in Limpopo involving a suspect arrested for dagga possession, unlicensed firearms and explosives. National police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe said Nkosi allegedly fetched the case docket under false pretences, later removed confiscated dagga from custody and tampered with an exhibit bag.
Nkosi already faces multiple charges in Pretoria North Magistrates’ Court, including possession of unlicensed ammunition and theft. His bail was denied in April after police raided his home and found firearms, ammunition and R52,700 in cash.
His brother Bheki continues to hold a Tshwane security contract worth nearly R3-million through company Ngaphesheya, despite the matter being flagged by the Madlanga Commission. City manager Johann Mettler told Parliament this week that an internal investigation is ongoing.
