Unlicensed ‘drunk driver’ who killed a metro cop sentenced to 10 years

Nkosi, who was out on bail for almost three years, appeared in the Orlando magistrate's court on Thursday for sentencing.In handing down sentence, magistrate Mohammed Jooma said Nkosi failed to show remorse from the day he was arrested and during the trial.

A pre-sentencing report stated he had a problem with alcohol but appeared to not have taken any initiative to address that issue. When Nkosi was stopped after the crime he even tried to start his vehicle and attempted to flee after committing a “horrendous act”.Nkosi was also handed six months in prison or a R2,000 fine for driving without a licence, which was suspended for five years.Rose Moila, Jacob’s sister, said attending court proceedings had not been easy, as they had to face someone accused of killing her brother.

“The family has been traumatised and broken. When it happened, it was a shock because we knew Jacob as this person who loved his work and you get this report saying your brother has been killed by the same community he was protecting.”“The [sentence] of 10 years. I don’t know if it will bring us peace, but I know not coming back to court will allow us to start healing because there is no way we are going to see this guy again,” she said.

She thanked metro police officers Nhlanhla Makhoba, Thenjiwe Tshabalala, Kgomotso Sekhothe and Nompumelelo Lehlaku for their continued support since the incident.TimesLIVE
