Suspended police sergeant Fannie Nkosi is set to appear in the Pretoria High Court to appeal a bail refusal by the Pretoria North Magistrate Court. The court previously ruled that Nkosi did not demonstrate that his release would serve the interests of justice. He faces serious allegations including possession of firearms, with seven guns reportedly discovered during a police raid at his home, some hidden under a bed and inside a mattress. Nkosi is accused of being a middleman for Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala, an alleged cartel leader, and is implicated in stealing police dockets to protect criminals and obstruct investigations. He is currently facing two separate cases of defeating the ends of justice in Pretoria North and Thohoyandou. The state is firmly opposing his bail application, emphasizing the gravity of the allegations against him and the potential risk to ongoing investigations.
