Fannie Nkosi Case Postponed To November As NPA Considers Representations
The case against suspended police sergeant Fannie Nkosi has been postponed to 5 November 2026 while the National Prosecuting Authority considers representations seeking a review or withdrawal of the charges against him.
The criminal case against suspended police sergeant Fannie Nkosi has been postponed to 5 November 2026 to allow for the outcome of representations submitted to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
Nkosi faces charges including theft, fraud and defeating the ends of justice. The case follows allegations raised during his testimony before the Madlanga Commission, which is investigating matters relating to alleged criminality and corruption within the criminal justice system.
Prosecutor Tholoana Sekhonyana told the court that the matter had been placed on the roll for the outcome of the representations.
“The matter is on the roll for outcome of representations. The defence needs representations to the Director of Public Prosecutions. The State is requesting that this matter be remanded to the 5th of November 2026 for the outcome of the said representations,” Sekhonyana said.
Nkosi Seeks Review Of Charges
Nkosi has submitted representations to the prosecution seeking a review, reduction or withdrawal of the charges against him.
The representations will be considered by the prosecution, with the case scheduled to return to court on 5 November for an update on the process.

The postponement does not determine the merits of the charges, and the prosecution's decision on the representations will be a key development in the case.
Allegations Raised At Madlanga Commission
Nkosi's case has drawn attention following allegations aired during his testimony at the Madlanga Commission.
The allegations concern his purported role as an intermediary between suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya and other businessmen, including Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.
These allegations form part of the wider issues being examined in connection with alleged links between police officials and business figures. They should be distinguished from the criminal charges Nkosi is facing, which remain allegations until determined by a court.
The matter is expected to return to court on 5 November 2026 for the outcome of the representations submitted to the NPA.
