What happened

Police sergeant Fannie Nkosi told the court he was part of a team investigating cash-in-transit and violent crimes, which explained why he kept six closed dockets at his home.

Why it matters

Earlier this month, when police raided Nkosi’s home, they allegedly found the closed dockets relating to robberies and violent crimes, a stun grenade and more than R50,000 concealed in mattresses, leading to his arrest.

Common ground

[Watch] Sgt Fannie Nkosi steps to the dock at the Pretoria North magistrate’s court where he is expected to apply for bail before magistrate Thandi Theledi.

Perspective signals
