Suspended Major-General Feroz Khan summoned to Madlanga Commission on 1 September

The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry has officially summoned suspended Crime Intelligence Deputy Major-General Feroz Khan to testify on 1 September. The senior official is expected to address a range of serious allegations that have surfaced during recent proceedings.

Legal representatives for Khan were served with a Rule 10.6 notice, detailing the specific topics he must clarify. These include an assault case involving a fellow officer and his professional links to former IDAC boss Andrea Johnson.

A Network Under Scrutiny

The inquiry is set to delve into Khan's alleged associations with high-profile figures, including EFF leader Julius Malema. The general's actions while serving in the police's intelligence unit have become a central focus for the commission after multiple witnesses provided testimony against him.

Financial records and digital evidence previously shared at the commission suggest Khan enjoyed a lifestyle far beyond the means of a standard police salary. He has been described as one of the country's wealthiest generals, with his alleged multimillion-rand empire now under the microscope.

Health Hurdles and Security Fears

Despite the formal summons, there is lingering uncertainty regarding Khan’s physical capacity to attend the hearing. The general was recently hospitalized following what he characterized as a targeted assassination attempt outside his Houghton residence on 28 June 2026.

While his family has confirmed he was discharged from the hospital, he is reportedly continuing his rehabilitation at a secret location. No specific details about the severity of his injuries have been released to the public.

The 1 September date serves as a major milestone for the inquiry, which seeks to untangle the web of alleged operational intelligence support and financial misconduct within the South African Police Service.
