Khumalo says ready to serve again after charges withdrawn

Dumisani Khuma was arrested in June last year over alleged irregular appointment of Mokwele.

Dumisani Khumalo, the head of Crime Intelligence, is prepared to resume his duties for the country following the withdrawal of fraud and corruption charges brought against him and six other individuals by the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA). At Pretoria Magistrate’s Court, Khumalo and his co-accused formally had the charges dropped.

These allegations centered around the appointment of Brigadier Dineo Mokwele, which took place in June of the previous year. The group was initially arrested and faced charges related to the alleged irregular appointment of Mokwele. Speaking to the media after his court appearance, Khumalo stated, "It’s something that one can call it was good for the country because that is what impacted on everything that is currently happening in the country and we feel that it’s very good for the whole country and we are going to continue working and serving the people of South Africa, the way we have been doing all these years."
