DPP declines Fannie Nkosi’s bid to have charges reconsidered
Former organised crime unit member Nkosi was declined by DPP to have charges against him dropped
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has rejected former organised crime unit member Fannie Nkosi's request to reconsider the charges against him. Nkosi's counsel, Katlego Maleho, has also withdrawn from the case. Moreover, Nkosi resigned from his position in the South African Police Service (SAPS) in the previous month. The charges Nkosi sought to have re-examined pertain to the offense of obstructing justice, following allegations that he posed as a senior police officer from Pretoria and tampered with evidence at the Thohoyandou Police Station in Limpopo during 2022.
In addition, he faces several other charges, including theft, fraud, and obstructing justice, stemming from a police raid at his Pretoria North residence where they discovered illegal weapons, firearms, official police documents, and a substantial amount of cash.
