The Bulls rugby team issued a press release on Saturday explaining that they had not received any reports about player S’busiso Nkosi since November 11.

The club reported the South African player missing and the police launched an investigation.

“Nkosi’s last known contact with a manager, employee or team was on Friday 11 November 2022.

“After numerous unsuccessful attempts, including phone calls, text messages, calls to relatives, partners and close friends, as well as four visits to his known residence, the team decided to declare him missing,” the club said in a statement.

The 2019 World Champions Nkosi (26, 16 caps) was due to take part in the Springboks’ tour of Europe this autumn, but an injury picked up at the Bulls has prevented him from doing so, News.ro reports.
