Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>News24 can exclusively confirm that Springbok wing Sbu Nkosi has been found.<\/p>\n

The Bulls wing was located at his father’s house in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga, on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Bulls CEO Edgar Rathbone, in tandem with the team’s security company SSG Group, managed to locate the 26-year-old after receiving various tip offs that he was in Emalahleni.<\/p>\n

Nkosi had been reported missing for three weeks by his franchise, who on Saturday opened a missing persons case with SAPS.<\/p>\n

Initial information that reached the Bulls said the Springbok was at an “ANC house” in Emalahleni, where he was allegedly seen “driving a white caravan” – information that was only partially true.<\/p>\n

Rathbone and SSG extensively sought to verify the information and look for Nkosi, whom they weren’t able to reach telephonically.<\/p>\n

But by Monday morning, the Bulls had not verified that Nkosi was alive or safe despite some media reports that the player was found.<\/p>\n

Both parties, unsuccessfully, attempted to get SAPS Emalahleni assistance upon arrival in the Mpumalanga town out of security concerns.<\/p>\n

However, it transpired that Nkosi was, in fact, safe and at his father’s house in Emalahleni.<\/p>\n

After patiently waiting outside the home for Nkosi’s appearance, Rathbone at last met the winger at the gate of the household before entering for private talks with the star.<\/p>\n

News24 was also able to catch a glimpse of Nkosi, who appeared in healthy spirits without any visible physical harm.<\/p>\n

Nkosi (26) started the 2019 World Cup semi-final against Wales and was considered a key part of the squad that won the tournament.<\/p>\n

Later on Monday afternoon, the Bulls confirmed the news in a media release.<\/p>\n
