Fannie Nkosi Reportedly Resign from SAPS Ahead of Disciplinary Hearing Linked to Madlanga Commission

South African Police Service (SAPS) official Fannie Ezekiel Nkosi has reportedly tendered his resignation ahead of an internal disciplinary hearing concerning allegations linked to his appearance before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

According to an eNCA Investigations report, Nkosi submitted his resignation letter on Friday after reportedly considering leaving the police service before the disciplinary process could proceed.

The report indicates that SAPS had been preparing an internal disciplinary hearing to examine allegations against Nkosi, including possible misconduct. His reported resignation comes as questions surrounding his conduct continue to attract public attention.

Nkosi was also listed among the witnesses expected to testify at a disciplinary hearing involving dismissed police officer Shadrack Sibiya. However, the report did not clarify the nature of Nkosi’s anticipated testimony or whether his resignation would affect his participation in the proceedings.

The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has been investigating allegations of wrongdoing within South Africa’s law enforcement structures, bringing the conduct and activities of several officials under increased scrutiny.

Nkosi’s reported decision to leave SAPS has raised questions about what will happen to the outstanding disciplinary matters involving him. The next steps will depend on the applicable procedures and how the police service responds to his resignation.

According to the report, an enquiry had been sent to SAPS seeking comment, but the response had not been received at the time of publication.

It also remains unclear when Nkosi’s resignation would take effect or whether SAPS has formally accepted his resignation letter.

Importantly, the allegations against Nkosi and the reported misconduct charges should not be treated as proof of wrongdoing, as the available information does not establish that a disciplinary finding has been made against him.

His reported departure adds another development to the ongoing scrutiny of police conduct surrounding the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

Further clarification from SAPS is expected to shed light on the status of Nkosi’s resignation and whether any outstanding disciplinary matters will continue following his departure from the police service.
