WATCH | Feroz Khan a no-show at Madlanga as lawyer seeks postponement
Khan was subpoenaed to answer allegations of interference in the criminal justice system, after previously being unable to testify because of gunshot wounds allegedly sustained outside his Johannesburg home.
In a surprising turn of events, Crime Intelligence Deputy Head Major-General Feroz Khan will not be present at the Madlanga Commission on Tuesday as originally planned. This absence is due to his recent re-admission to the hospital. His lawyers are now considering a request to postpone his testimony, which could potentially be delayed further.
Khan was subpoenaed to testify regarding allegations of interference in the criminal justice system. This follows his previous inability to testify due to gunshot wounds allegedly sustained outside his Johannesburg residence. During his absence, the commission has delved into WhatsApp messages that have exposed Khan's extensive political and business ties, as well as his alleged involvement in tender fraud.
The inquiry has also revealed a potential personal relationship between Khan and Andrea Johnson, the former head of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC). Allegedly, Johnson was sharing sensitive police information with Khan through these messages. As this story unfolds, Khan's appearance before the court has attracted significant attention amidst growing scrutiny of the senior intelligence official.
Moreover, Khan faces another court appearance on Wednesday at Kempton Park Magistrates Court. He stands accused of defying the ends of justice in a case that dates back to 2021.
