Overview
- Nkosi, whose bail was refused Wednesday in the Pretoria North Magistrate’s Court, was remanded in custody until 21 May for further investigation.
- A task team that raided his Pretoria North home on 2 April found firearms, live ammunition, a stun grenade, SAPS case dockets and R52,700 in cash hidden under a mattress.
- Prosecutors listed charges that include unlawful possession of explosives, failure to safeguard firearms and ammunition, defeating the ends of justice, theft and money laundering.
- Magistrate Thandi Theledi said the state’s case is prima facie strong and found Nkosi failed the Schedule 5 test by not showing he would not flee or interfere with witnesses or evidence.
- The NPA welcomed the ruling and said it cannot rule out more counts as inquiries tied to the Madlanga Commission continue, noting Nkosi previously appeared there as “Witness F” in a probe of alleged police corruption.
