  "account": "Former Crime Intelligence Deputy Head Feroz Khan is set to appear before the Madlanga Commission on October 6. The Commission determined that a portion of his testimony may be heard in camera. Khan, who received a subpoena to appear, failed to do so on Monday. This led to the Commission chairperson, retired Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, to order criminal charges against him. Khan's legal team also submitted a postponement application, which was denied by the Commission. Madlanga emphasized that Khan should have attended the proceedings remotely, as initially arranged. \"The postponement application is refused, but Mr. Khan's testimony will not be heard today because he does not physically attend for that purpose. And by present, I include his remote appearance, which the independent psychiatrist suggested and the Commission endorses.\"",
