Sergeant Fannie Nkosi explains visit to KT Molefe’s mansion captured on CCTV

Sergeant Fannie Nkosi testifies at Madlanga commission at Brigette Mabandla Judicial College in Pretoria on 18 March 2026. Picture: Gallo Images/Frennie Shivambu Police sergeant Fannie Nkosi has defended his visit to the home of controversial businessman Katiso “KT” Molefe in Sandton, Johannesburg, telling the Madlanga commission that he was there to collect motorcycle gear. The visit, which took place on 27 November 2024, has drawn attention after CCTV footage showed Nkosi at Molefe’s Sandhurst mansion just 10 days before the businessman’s arrest for the murder of Vereeniging engineerArmand Swart.

Footage presented to the commission shows Nkosi arriving at the property in a white BMW allegedly linked to the office of suspended Deputy National Police Commissioner Shadrack Sibiya. According to Crime Intelligence divisional commissioner Dumisani Khumalo, the vehicle did not have the required South African Police Service (Saps) tracking device. Nkosi, who serves in Gauteng’s organised crime unit, was seen entering the residence and later leaving with Molefe while carrying a white paper bag.

The police sergeant described himself as a mentor to Molefe in motorcycling matters since 2021. Nkosi previously confirmed that he had facilitated payments for Molefe’s motorcycle purchases. In October 2023, Nkosi deposited R700 000 in cash, adding to an earlier R300 000 payment – bringing the total cost of one motorcycle to at least R1 million.
