Police sergeant Fannie Nkosi came under sharp scrutiny at the Madlanga commission over a WhatsApp message he sent just days after the murder of musician Oupa John Sefoka, widely known as DJ Sumbody. Sefoka was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in Woodmead, Gauteng, on 20 November 2022. His bodyguards, Sibusiso Mokoena and Sandile Myeza, were also killed in the attack.
In the aftermath, businessmanKatiso “KT” Molefe, former police detective Michael Pule Tau, and alleged hitmen Musa Kekana and Tiego Floyd Mabusela were arrested and charged. Their trial is expected to take place from 26 October to 4 December 2026 in theGauteng High Court in Johannesburg. Testifying at the Brigitte Mabandla Justice College in Pretoria on Friday, 20 March, Nkosi was questioned about a message he sent on 23 November 2022 to former City of Tshwane official Mpho Paul Lekukela.
