Overview
- Nkosi, a suspended officer from the Organised Crime Unit, faced fresh counts of defeating and obstructing justice after a commission task team filed new charges on Friday in Thohoyandou.
- He remains behind bars after the Pretoria North Magistrate’s Court denied bail in April, with the magistrate finding he failed to show he would not endanger others or interfere with witnesses.
- Investigators say he fetched a case docket by claiming head office sent him, later posed as a colonel to remove seized dagga, rebooked it at head office, and an exhibit bag was later found tampered with.
- He also faces counts tied to explosive munitions, alleged Firearms Act breaches, and unlawful possession of police property, with police reporting that state dockets were found stored in a wendy house on his property.
- Nkosi is remanded in custody with his next court date set for 21 May, and the commission’s referrals could shape both his prosecution and internal accountability steps within the police service.
