Bulls appeal for info amidst reports that Nkosi HAS been located!

Since the news of the disappearance of Sbu Nkosi became public on Saturday, there have been widespread concerns for the Springboks and Bulls wing as the search has intensified.

REPORT: ‘DEBT COLLECTORS’ TARGET SPRINGBOKS FLYHALF ELTON JANTJIES

There was a glimmer of hope on Monday, however, when reports began to emerge to suggest he had been located.

One report suggested he had been spotted 300km from Pretoria, while The Sowetan had published an article stating his whereabouts were believed to be in Mpumalanga, although efforts were being made to confirm his location.

On Twitter, well-known South African rugby influencer – known as Oom Rugby – also took to social media to say that he had heard that Nkosi has “made contact”.

The Bulls responded to an enquiry from The South African to state that “status is still the same” when it came to Nkosi, understandably guarding against any misinformation being disseminated too soon.

A spokesperson appealed for more tip offs and information to be made so this could be shared with police.

The Bulls released this statement on Nkosi on Saturday:

The Blue Bulls Company can confirm that Vodacom Bulls contracted player, Sbu Nkosi has been absent without leave for the past three weeks. Nkosi’s last known contact with any executive, management or playing squad member is Friday 11 November 2022.

After numerous failed attempts, which include but are not limited to phone calls, texts messages, calls to relatives, partner and close friends as well as four house visits to his known place of residence, the company took the decision to open a missing person case with the Brooklyn Police Station (which was subsequently transferred to Sunnyside Police Station), in Pretoria on Thursday 17 November 2022. This resulted from the grave worry and concern of everyone at Loftus as well as the need for the expert assistance of the South African Police Services.

We appreciate both the public and media interest in the matter, as we all share the same concerns about the player’s safety. However, we ask that you understand that we cannot make any further comments on the matter as it now sits with the South African Police Services.

Anyone with further information about the whereabouts or information that may assist the police in discharging their responsibility, please contact the Sunnyside Police Station on +27 12 422 3600 or contact Crime Stop on +27 8600 10111. You may also email info@bluebull.co.za with any information that may assist.
