Sergeant Fannie Nkosi was arrested on April 2, 2026, following a raid at his private property in Pretoria. Nkosi faces charges of unlawful possession of explosives, three counts of failure to safeguard firearms, eight counts of failure to safeguard ammunition, defeating the administration of justice, failure to mount a stand-up safe as per the SABS 953-1/2, and theft. He is currently suspended from the South African Police Services (SAPS) Organised Crime Unit. Nkosi also testified before the Madlanga Commission. The raid on his home uncovered more than R50,000 hidden beneath a mattress, firearms, explosives, and other items. It is alleged that the Task Team emanating from the Madlanga Commission received a tip off regarding the unlawful ammunition at the accused’s place of residence. The task team executed a search warrant at Nkosi’s place of residence and upon execution of the search warrant, the police found firearms, ammunition, a stun grenade, South African Police Service police dockets, and state-issued items were discovered at various locations within his premises and a substantial amount of cash. Nkosi has been implicated in proceedings at the Madlanga Commission. The commission previously heard that police searched Nkosi’s home on October 8, 2025, where they allegedly found a credit card belonging to murder-accused business tycoon Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala. The commission also heard that R385,175 in cash was seized during the October 2025 search.
