Overview
- Nkosi remains in custody after a court denied bail and ordered his placement in the hospital wing at Kgosi Mampuru prison, citing his safety concerns.
- Police say a task team linked to the Madlanga Commission searched his Pretoria North home on Thursday and found a stun grenade, explosives, seven firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, state‑issued items and R52,700 hidden under a mattress.
- Six case dockets tied to cash‑in‑transit and hijacking cases were recovered from his house, and police say these files were recorded as “undetected” and should have been archived in a station storage facility rather than in a private home.
- Prosecutors have not ruled out more charges as they await forensic results on the explosive device and other seized items and as they examine the recovered case files for possible interference.
- Nkosi, a suspended member of Gauteng’s Organised Crime Unit, was implicated at the Madlanga Commission as a go‑between for senior police figures and the alleged Big Five network, and a prior 2025 raid at his home turned up R325,000 in cash.
