The Madlanga Commission has heard allegations that suspended deputy Crime Intelligence head Major General Feroz Khan used Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) leader Julius Malema to advance his own agenda in Parliament.
Evidence leader Advocate Matthew Chaskalson presented WhatsApp messages containing parliamentary questions that were to be asked by Malema to former Inspector-General of Intelligence, Isaac Dintwe.
The Commission heard that the questions, allegedly drafted by Khan, were sent through his close associate, Mohammed ‘Mo’ Sayed, before being passed on to Malema.
Chaskalson told the Commission the questions were intended to trap Dintwe into making false statements, which Khan allegedly planned to use to orchestrate his removal.
“Mr. Sayed is still responding to the previous inquiry of General Khan, which is when are they sending the questions, and he says at [page] 65977 at 12 June 2021, 8:49. But I think it’s been sent already. He then responds to General Khan’s message saying, you know, this will get him to lie and then we can get him removed. And he says absolutely, he’s going to deny it and then he’s effed, bye bye p***,” adds Chaskalson.
The commission will proceed with evidence gathered against Khan in a closed session after the tea break.
