Feroz Khan goes back to Labour Court: Will the Crime Intelligence official win again?
Khan is pushing back against a disciplinary process that reportedly recommended his dismissal.
Feroz Khan, the deputy head of Crime Intelligence in South Africa's Police Service, is set to return to the Labour Court to challenge his dismissal after an internal disciplinary hearing. The Legal Representative of Khan, Muhammed Vally, denies that Khan has been dismissed and states that the Labour Court proceedings arose from the inappropriate manner in which the expedited disciplinary hearing was conducted while Khan was recovering from serious injuries sustained during a shooting incident on June 28th.
The Police's Regulation 9 process, which allows for expedited handling of serious misconduct cases, is under scrutiny by Khan, who had previously successfully challenged the expeditious process in December 2024. Khan, who faces charges including corruption, defeating the ends of justice and contravening the Precious Metals Act, claims that his arrest on May 10th, 2026, is related to a 2021 incident at OR Tambo International Airport where 75.9 grams of raw gold worth R62,836 were seized.
The charges are set to be heard in Kempton Park Magistrate's Court on September 2nd, 2026. Khan has also been implicated in a major cocaine seizure operation in Johannesburg in July 2021, during which 715.86 kilograms of cocaine were intercepted. While in police custody, 579.4 kilograms of the drugs went missing, leaving 136.46 kilograms unaccounted for.
