Police sergeant Fannie Nkosi

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.

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.

The message included a photo of Lekukela with Sefoka and read: “Why didn’t you call him to order?” Lekukela replied: “I didn’t know.”

Nkosi told the commission he could not recall what he meant when he sent the message.

Across the broader marriage landscape, 102 373 marriages and unions were registered in 2024, down 28,5% from the 143 279 recorded in 2015, and the country’s crude marriage rate has fallen to just 1.6 per thousand people.
