🔥Why Prosecutors Say Fannie Nkosi Must Stay Behind Bars | Is he going to Sing in Jail?🔥

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Welcome back to African Report News. Let me start by saying this. When chickens leave in the morning, they may wander around all day, but when evening comes, they do not return to the neighbor's house or to a friend's yard. They return home because that is where they belong.

[00:00:16]And in many ways, life has a way of bringing people back to face the consequences of their decisions. Today, Fanning Cosy appeared in court for a bail hearing. However, the matter was postponed to the 22nd of July, 2026 as investigations continue. Reports around the case remain allegations before the court and the legal process is still unfolding. Looking at Fanning Coy during the proceedings, you could clearly see the pressure and emotional weight he appears to be carrying. From the way he presented himself in court, it seems this is not a situation he ever imagined he would find himself in. No matter where people stand on the matter, politically or personally, there is still a human side to all of this. Many South Africans watching these developments may feel sympathy seeing someone facing such serious legal challenges and uncertainty about what comes next. You can take a look at parts of the hearing and listen carefully to what was said in court, including the remarks made during the proceedings. But overall, it is a deeply sad situation to witness unfold in front of the nation.

[00:01:24]Now, I think one of the biggest questions many people are asking themselves is this. Will Fanny Kosi eventually speak out and expose everything he allegedly knows, including the involvement of bigger and more powerful figures, or will he choose to remain silent throughout this entire process?

[00:01:49]Yes sir.

[00:01:49]>> Once more I confirm I appear on behalf of the applicant.

[00:01:57]>> Language for the client. English sir.

[00:02:11]Thank you ma'am.

[00:02:18]You worship the matter is on the roll for further investigations.

[00:02:25]The state would like to request a postponement um and for the following reasons.

[00:02:34]accused has a case which he has been charged with in Venda Toyando where he'll be appearing on the 16th of July. It is the state's intention to apply for centralization for that matter in to do to be joined to the one here in Victoria and for these reasons the state is requesting a postponement up until ballistic available or >> yes the ballistic is available. Thank you.

[00:03:08]The state is requesting a postponement until the 22nd of July for purposes of centralization.

[00:03:17]Thank you for the question.

[00:03:24]As at the last appearance that this matter was before court when Bin was denied, we advised client that a different court could have come to a different conclusion in the respect of granting him bail and we advised that he ought to appeal the decision of that court because in our arguments um the interest of justice >> you welcome to Lord Jab.

[00:03:53]Yes, I wanted to come to a point that says we after putting up the advice um client did not give us the instruction to proceed with the um appeal of the bail um refusal and it's for that reason that today um our intention was to make an application to this court to withdraw from this matter with that firm that had filed the notice to to appeal to come onto the court and to seek to centralize the matters. So I I need to understand >> with >> we would be coming through to court to withdraw because a different firm that filed the notice to appeal would come onto the record and proceed with the matter.

[00:04:38]>> So are you withdrawing from record? So yes, >> will you interpret for the accus attorney is withdrawing? Is he going to instruct another attorney?

[00:05:05]Wednesday That's all right. You understand?

[00:05:42]>> What would you like to do now? Appoint another attorney.

[00:05:47]>> I was approached by another attorney this morning who said he's instructed.

[00:05:50]I've just asked for him to be called who said he's instructed by Thank you.

[00:05:58]>> Did he get another attorney? Who's the attorney?

[00:06:09]Mr. Someone call Mr. Malo, please approach.

[00:06:30]>> All right. And then I'll excuse you if you want to be excused.

[00:06:34]>> I'll wait for my morning. Worship. I can confirm that I will be coming on record on behalf of Mr. Please the prosecute is requesting a postponement. There's another matter in they want to centralize the matters. The request is for June.

[00:07:09]>> That that is indeed the position worship. We uh I have engaged my colleague and I can confirm worship that the date of the 22nd of July isn't even in order to call.

[00:07:26]May I approach the accuser?

[00:07:35]>> Thank you.

[00:07:37]litigation says postpone until 22 July this year to centralize the matter. You will remain in custody. You always deny 16 years.

[00:08:11]Yeah.

[00:08:28]And for those who have been closely following the Manlanga Commission, many people will say the warning signs were already there long before this moment.

[00:08:36]Some viewers may remember when advocate Manlanga raised concerns directly during the proceedings, questioning why so many individuals connected to Fanny and Kosi allegedly continued to die under suspicious circumstances. The concern raised was that these were not ordinary or natural deaths, but incidents that reportedly involved violence, murder, or alleged assassinations. Those remarks left many South Africans deeply unsettled at the time. And for some observers, the developments we are seeing today do not come as a complete surprise. Of course, it is important to remember that these matters remain allegations until proven in court. Take a look at this video.

[00:09:20]>> Say in response to Mr. Shaskal, your text, why didn't you call him to order could not have had anything to do with what Mr. Shelson was suggesting to you, but at the same time you say you do not remember what it related to. That doesn't make sense to me.

[00:09:44]How can you be sure that it definitely had nothing to do with what Mr. Shaskin is suggesting to you if you don't even remember what it was about, what the text was about? If you don't remember, you don't remember and then even what Mr. Shask is saying may well be a possibility.

[00:10:10]>> Uh, can I respond to that?

[00:10:12]>> Yes, please.

[00:10:13]>> Um, commissioners, I've answered to the best of my ability.

[00:10:18]>> You are lying. That's the problem. The problem is that you are lying to us. You are lying to us, Sergeant Goi. Uh, >> I've I've I've got no reason to lie.

[00:10:31]DJ somebody was close to Mr. Luga and uh I would not know what exactly we're talking about on that day or that led me to say these words but if maybe during lunch I will be given an opportunity I will check with Mr. on really really if he remembers then I'll come but it's got nothing to do the way Mr. She was suggesting that I knew I'm distancing myself that I what I was talking about here. I can recall you see this outside of your work situation as a police u officer where you probably encounter lots and lots of deaths around you but all of those relating to your work situation.

[00:11:30]outside of your work situation. It cannot be that people die all the time around you die as a result of murder.

[00:11:39]I'm not talking deaths by natural causes. It cannot be that people die around you as a result of murder all the time outside of your work situation. So this is something out of the ordinary so to speak and you write and you say why didn't you call him to order? Surely you remember that. You cannot tell us that.

[00:12:01]You do not remember that. And if you tell us that, I'm saying directly to you and to your face that you are lying.

[00:12:12]Please try to come up with an with a different answer which is more plausible. Otherwise, you are just telling us lies. uh to respond on that. a a a commissioner.

[00:12:26]It it it it's but with with with due respect it the way commissioner is putting it that uh there is no way that people are dying outside of my work and with with this man it portrays another picture that maybe I might know what is happening or I might have knowledge and I'm not doing anything about it. No, no, I'm not. No, no, no, no, no. You are misunderstanding me. You're misunderstanding me. I'm saying >> around you.

[00:13:03]>> Yes.

[00:13:04]>> Around me, around most of the people here and I'm saying forget about your work situation as a police officer where you probably encounter lots and lots of murders. So I'm saying around you, around me and around many other people in our ordinary lives, >> we don't have people dying all the time around us through murder. That's what I'm suggesting to you.

[00:13:32]>> And I'm saying nothing about you doing anything wrong with regard to those matters.

[00:13:39]Do you get me?

[00:13:39]>> That's correct. Yes. So those matters that you do become aware of outside of your work.

[00:13:48]>> Yes.

[00:13:49]>> Must surely stick to your mind.

[00:13:53]>> Yes.

[00:13:54]>> Correct.

[00:13:54]>> That's correct.

[00:13:55]>> Yes. Now it seems to me that you had a particular interest with regard to or in relation to this matter.

[00:14:04]>> Yes.

[00:14:05]>> Correct.

[00:14:05]>> That's correct.

[00:14:06]>> Now you write to Mr. Lea >> who you say was the friend of the deceased. You write and you say why didn't you call him to order?

[00:14:21]Surely you must know what your text was about.

[00:14:26]You must know.

[00:14:29]Correct.

[00:14:32]I I deny uh commissioners.

[00:14:42]It happened long ago in 2022 and I can't not in a bad way. I can remember everything that I said then or I meant then but I want to try to the best of my ability to to remember what really I meant but I can only >> Yes continue I'm sorry I'm sorry to interrupt no it's fine it's fine by the help of the person that I was talking about >> so >> please please apply your mind and try to remember over the lunch break because I know you are lying to us. So I want you to come back and give us an answer to this an honest and truthful answer when we come back because right now you are lying to us. Uh so sorry to to to to Adam that maybe not to to I I I will maybe appreciate maybe h if the commissioner can say uh because of you are not sure now go and think hard about it not that maybe you are lying about it. I'm not lying. I'm not a liar.

[00:15:58]My commissioner, >> so far until you give an an answer that does sound truthful and honest. So far, I'll say you are lying.

[00:16:08]>> Can can maybe >> So, please redeem yourself and give us an answer that that makes sense in the circumstances.

[00:16:16]>> Yes. But can with with this one maybe meet each other 50/50 that maybe I might have forgotten then you come with your 50 that maybe I might but not that completely 100% I'm not a liar um commissioner I'm not >> may we commissioner next to me >> you didn't say anything >> no I'm just I'm looking the way you are looking at me that the next question I will not stand for it so I'm just preparing Thank you. Let's adjourn and come back at 5 2.

[00:16:53]>> And as many people may have observed, it appeared that Fanning Kosy believed he could outsmart the commission by carefully giving selective pieces of information, possibly thinking investigators would not be able to connect all the dots. But commissions like these often operate very strategically. In many cases, investigators ask questions even when they already know the answers. The purpose is not always to get new information immediately, but sometimes to test consistency, credibility, and whether a witness may contradict previous statements. Many viewers still remember the moment during the Mything Commission when allegedly deleted messages were suddenly brought forward.

[00:17:34]Messages that Fanny and Kosy seemingly never expected the commission to have access to. The reaction in that moment appeared to catch him completely offguard. And for many people watching, it became clear that investigators may have already gathered far more information behind the scenes than the public initially realized. And perhaps that is the lesson many are taking from all of this. No matter how long someone may try to avoid accountability, commissions and investigators continue building their cases patiently, piece by piece, until the full picture eventually starts coming together. Of course, all allegations and claims presented during the commission and court proceedings still need to be tested through the proper legal process. But politically and publicly, the pressure surrounding this matter continues to intensify with every new revelation.
