General Khan In TROUBLE | Linked To A House Break-In

A dramatic hearing exposed troubling questions about the relationship between senior Crime Intelligence officials and investigative journalism in South Africa. During testimony before the Madlanga Commission, evidence leaders examined a WhatsApp conversation in which Crime Intelligence head General Feroz Khan and another officer discussed "countering" Daily Maverick investigative journalist Marian Tam. Just two months later, Tam's home office was broken into and two Mac laptops were stolen, prompting intense questioning over whether the timing was merely a coincidence or something far more concerning. Commissioner Mim challenged the argument by reading directly from Marian Tam's affidavit, pointing out that Tam herself believed the break-in was linked to her ongoing investigations into Crime Intelligence surveillance and corruption—not the WhatsApp exchange, which she did not know about at the time. While the evidence leader accepted that distinction, he argued that General Feroz Khan's failure to reject or distance himself from the discussion about "countering" a journalist, combined with the timing of the burglary, raises serious concerns about the possible misuse of state resources to intimidate members of the media. The exchange highlights broader questions about police accountability, Crime Intelligence operations, media freedom, and the protection of investigative journalists in South Africa. Although the Claremont police case was ultimately closed without any suspects being identified, the testimony has reignited public debate over whether state institutions were used to target journalists exposing corruption. The latest Madlanga Commission proceedings continue to shed light on allegations involving SAPS Crime Intelligence, political interference, police misconduct, and accountability within South Africa's law enforcement agencies. Watch the full hearing for all the key moments from the Madlanga Commission on 6 July, including testimony involving General Feroz Khan, Commissioner Mim, Crime Intelligence, and allegations surrounding the treatment of investigative journalists.
