Update: Bulls continue search for missing Bok wing Sbu Nkosi

Despite reports on Monday suggesting Springbok World Cup winner from 2019, Sbu Nkosi had been spotted in Mpumalanga, the Bulls insisted their employee had not been found.

Nkosi, who has been AWOL for weeks, was, according to a report in Sowetan, believed to be in the Mpumlanga.

The former Sharks wing, who now plays for the Bulls, apparently failed to turn up for any training sessions since November 11.

All attempts, including by phone and by going to his latest known address, to reach Nkosi apparently failed, prompting the Bulls to alert the public to the problem.

It is also understood the Bulls asked the police to step in and launch a search for the winger, as a missing person.

Early on Monday, according to Sowetan, Nkosi had apparently been spotted in Mpumalanga.

The publication said the address of where the Bok winger was situated was known to the Bulls, according to more than one source.

In the afternoon on Monday though the Bulls said in an official statement: “Please note, the most recent stories in relation to Nkosi’s whereabouts are untrue.

‘Continue to share information’

“We have not located the player and have not issued any updates in relation to this.

“We continue to receive tip-offs and information from the public (through the info@bluebull.co.za line we shared in the initial club statement) and all these are being shared with the police as well as other relevant stake-holders who are assisting in the matter.

“We continue to appeal to the wider public to share any information they have that may help with the case.

“Finally, we appreciate that this has become a story with international interest and we continue to commit to keeping everyone in thee know, as and when we have any substantive developments.”
