The suspended sergeant, who spent days testifying before the Madlanga Commission in March, was arrested during a raid at his home in Pretoria North last week.

On Tuesday, the court refused to condone a late application by the media for coverage of proceedings, despite prosecutors explaining that Nkosi was arrested the day before the Easter long weekend and the media could only bring its application in the morning.
