Another three weeks behind bars for suspended crime cop Fannie Nkosi
Suspended organised crime officer Sergeant Fannie Nkosi will remain behind bars for another three weeks after his two cases were postponed to September 15 for the disclosure of dockets.
Suspended organized crime officer Sergeant Fannie Nkosi will spend an additional three weeks in custody following the postponement of his two cases to September 15 in the Pretoria Regional Court. This decision was made after the National Prosecuting Authority obtained a centralization certificate to hear both cases simultaneously. Nkosi has been under arrest since his initial arrest on April 2, 2026.
At his recent appearance at the Pretoria North Magistrate’s Court, Nkosi's lawyer, Katleho Maleo, requested that the disclosure of dockets be provided before the scheduled date. The defense argued that this would allow him sufficient time to consult with his client in prison and determine whether he was fully informed to proceed to trial. The prosecution deemed this request reasonable and committed to providing the disclosure before the next scheduled appearance on September 15.
