Feroz Khan unlikely to testify at Madlanga Commission on Tuesday
Khan was due to testify in July but was shot and wounded in an apparent assassination attempt.
Major-General Feroz Khan, currently suspended as deputy Crime Intelligence head, is scheduled to appear before the Madlanga Commission on Tuesday. This comes months after evidence was presented against him in his absence. Khan was set to testify in July but was shot and wounded during an apparent assassination attempt in Houghton, Johannesburg, just days prior to his scheduled appearance.
Recently, Khan has reportedly been readmitted to the hospital, with the commission noting his legal team may seek to postpone his appearance.
The Madlanga Commission has heard allegations of interference in criminal investigations, connections to controversial tobacco businessman Mohamed "Mo" Sayed, and the facilitation of government tenders. Additionally, Khan's relationship with former IDAC head Advocate Andrea Johnson has been under scrutiny. Text messages presented at the commission suggest a relationship between Khan and Johnson that may have extended beyond professional boundaries.
Khan's appearance before the commission is anticipated to be an opportunity for him to address the most serious allegations against him.
