Show Notes
Sergeant Fannie Nkosi, a Gauteng organized crime officer, faced intense scrutiny at the Madlanga commission over his WhatsApp communications with alleged criminals. Nkosis role as a mediator between suspended deputy police commissioner Lieutenant General Shadrack Sibiya and individuals connected to crime raised serious concerns about police leaks. His actions included sharing confidential police information outside the force, such as confirming an arrest ID hours after engineer Armand Swarts murder and passing a document naming the investigator in taxi boss Oupa Sitholes killing to a close associate of the late Jothan Msibi. Nkosis struggle to justify his actions in the witness box for a fifth day, including admitting it was wrong to share the investigators name, highlighted the risky ties between police and taxi industry figures who often clash violently. New texts also revealed Nkosis communication with Sibiya and former Tshwane metro police deputy chief Umashi Dhlamini about political parties and tenders, further pressuring police conduct and potential corruption.
