Feroz Khan to appear at Madlanga Commission on Monday

Leaders of the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry have submitted an application for certain parts of former Crime Intelligence deputy head Feroz Khan's evidence to be heard in camera. The application pertains to specific WhatsApp communications and documents involving Khan. His legal counsel will be permitted to attend the in-camera proceedings and share the contents with him to obtain his instructions.

Khan is set to reappear before the #MadlangaCommission on Monday, but certain evidence may be led in-camera, potentially identifying informants and ongoing investigations into offenses by organized crime groups. The media has 72 hours to oppose the application, while the commission seeks confidentiality over the proceedings, recordings, and documents.

Khan was dismissed with immediate effect by the South African Police Service (SAPS) after facing disciplinary proceedings over allegations that his conduct tarnished the reputation of the SAPS. Last week, the Commission learned Khan was earning around R3 million annually from external remunerative work. The Public Service Commission (PSC) Chairperson, Somadoda Fikeni, informed the commission that financial disclosures submitted by senior management of the South African Police Service raised concerns.
