Madlanga Commission: Nkosi reprimanded over repeated refusal to answer questions

Gauteng cop Sergeant Fannie Nkosi has been reprimanded at the Madlanga Commission over his repeated refusal to answer questions.

Nkosi has been on the witness stand for six days and during that time, he has consistently refused to comment on some issues or claimed that he cannot remember key details.

Nkosi reminded Madlanga Commission testimony can’t be used in criminal trial

On Friday, Nkosi was asked about a confidential tender document he allegedly sent to a taxi boss, Mampane.

Nkosi said the document was no longer confidential, as the tender had been cancelled when he sent it.

However, documents before the commission clearly show the tender was cancelled a few months after Nkosi sent it.

Co-commissioner Sesi Baloyi said she has not been pleased with Nkosi’s performance on the witness stand.

“You are being obstructive and not helping the commission. That’s the position you have taken, and I think you need to be reminded that your obligation to the commission is to assist and give satisfactory answers. You are not answering satisfactorily when facts are put to you that you are not disputing, and you say, ‘I cannot comment’.”
