SAPS General Feroz Khan Recovers After Shooting, Faces Ongoing Legal Proceedings DATELINE: Johannesburg, South Africa – LEAD Major-General Feroz Khan, the suspended deputy head of Crime Intelligence in the South African Police Service (SAPS), has been discharged from the hospital nearly three weeks after being shot in Houghton, Johannesburg on 28 June 2026. Khan, who underwent emergency surgery for two bullet wounds, now faces a race against time to recover before the upcoming deadline of the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
The shooting of Major — General Khan has added a new layer of mystery to the ongoing investigation into allegations of corruption, political interference, and criminal infiltration of the criminal justice system.
Khan was under investigation for these allegations before his shooting, and his discharge from the hospital has sparked further speculation about the circumstances surrounding the attack.
According to sources, police recovered spent cartridges and a handwritten note at the crime scene, which allegedly implicated two generals. Khan’s family confirmed that he was moved to a secure location for intensive rehabilitation following emergency spinal surgery, a critical step in his recovery process.
TimesLIVE reported that Khan’s family described his rehabilitation period as under ‘comprehensive and strict security measures,’and that it would be used to determine his ability to give evidence before the Madlanga commission.
The commission, established by President Cyril Ramaphosa, is tasked with investigating the infiltration of criminal syndicates into law enforcement, intelligence, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), and parts of the judiciary. Briefly.

Za mentioned that Khan faces a warrant of arrest and ongoing legal proceedings linked to a precious metals case and alleged corruption.
The case, linked to alleged unlawful possession and transportation of precious metals, has drawn intense scrutiny not only because of the charges but also because of the ranks and institutions involved.

As Khan continues his recovery, the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry is expected to continue its work, delving deeper into the allegations of corruption and criminal infiltration within the criminal justice system.
The outcome of Khan’s testimony, if he is able to provide it, could have significant implications for the ongoing inquiry and the future of law enforcement in South Africa.
