Madlanga orders criminal charges against Khan over his non-attendance
Madlanga ruled that Khan's absence amounted to a "flagrant disregard" of the commission's subpoena.
Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga of the Madlanga Commission has issued a directive to pursue criminal charges against former Crime Intelligence Deputy Head, Major General Feroz Khan. The decision comes after Khan's failure to comply with a subpoena demanding his presence before the commission. Madlanga emphasized Khan's absence, both in person and virtually, as a "flagrant disregard" of the commission's subpoena and a previously made ruling.
The commission had previously dismissed Khan's request for a postponement, stating that any outstanding issues could have been addressed during his initial attendance. Justice Madlanga instructed the Commission Secretary, Dr Nolitha Vukuza, to initiate the process of bringing criminal charges against Khan for his non-compliance.
The commission's spokesperson conveyed Madlanga's sentiments, expressing disappointment in Khan's attorney for aligning with his disregard of the subpoena.
