The police investigation into Khosa's death continues, and the soldiers implicated 'have been ordered not to report for duty' until the criminal probe has been concluded.

The findings of the inquiry are attached to an explanatory affidavit filed with the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria by the SANDF’s legal adviser, Elvis Hobyana, on Tuesday. The inquiry, which did not interview Khosa’s relatives, relying only on their statements to the police, noted one of the soldiers entered the yard after seeing a glass of alcohol. This is when an argument ensued.“The attitude of these two men was provocative,” the report noted.
It said none of the witnesses “mentioned the vomiting of Mr Khosa” contrary to other accounts of what transpired.
