Police Reveal Six Dockets Found at Sergeant Nkosi’s Home, Included Five Linked to Cash-In-Transit Robberies in Roodepoort and Musina and Car Hijackings All Closed as Undetected
Brigadier Athlenda Mathe told the media that the police seized six archived serious-crime dockets, seven firearms and about R50 000 in cash during a raid at the Pretoria North home of suspended Sergeant Fannie Nkosi on 2 April. The items were discovered in a Wendy house and inside the residence during a search linked to the Madlanga Commission investigation.
The six dockets included five original case files and one copy, mostly linked to cash-in-transit robberies in Roodepoort and Musina, as well as two car hijackings. All the cases had previously been closed as undetected, raising concerns about how the files were removed from official police storage.
Seven licensed firearms belonging to Nkosi were also recovered during the search. Four were found inside a safe, while others were located between a mattress, under a bed and in his vehicle. Police said the dockets should have remained in station archives, prompting further investigation.
Authorities are now visiting the originating police stations to establish how Nkosi obtained the dockets and whether he played any role in the handling or closure of the cases. The findings form part of a broader probe into potential corruption linked to the suspended detective.
