Warrant Officer Sabelo Nkosi (Malume Nkosi)
officer manning the standby phone
Warrant Officer Sabelo Nkosi, also known as Malume Nkosi, is a member of the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI) based in the TOMS section. Testifying before the Madlanga Commission, he described his role in coordinating operational pick-ups, including sending live locations to avoid delays. He testified that on the day in question, he felt they should not have been at the scene, noting that Constable De Gouveia had recognised a member from Special Task Force training, which he saw as confirmation they were not needed. Nkosi also stated that he reports through senior officers to Brigadier Mokoena, who had already called others, and faced questions about the unusual nature of a request from the brigadier.
