ZAFannie Nkosi, a suspended South African Police Service (SAPS) Organised Crime unit officer, appeared in the Pretoria High Court where the State announced readiness to proceed with his trial. All charges against him have been consolidated into a single case, which will now be heard in the Pretoria Regional Court. Nkosi was arrested on April 2 after a police operation uncovered firearms, ammunition, a stun grenade, official SAPS documents, and over R50,000 in cash at his residence. He faces multiple charges, including fraud, theft, defeating the ends of justice, and evidence tampering. Additionally, he is accused of acting as a middleman between alleged crime boss Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala and senior police officers connected to organized crime. The case was postponed until August 19, and Nkosi remains in custody.
