South Africa’s Law Enforcement Under Scrutiny: Major-General Feroz Khan’s Seized Devices Reveal Deep-Rooted Corruption ### DATILINE: Johannesburg, South Africa — July 12, 2026 ### LEAD South Africa’s law enforcement agencies are facing a severe credibility crisis as the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry delves into allegations of corruption, political interference, and links to a murder cover-up involving Major-General Feroz Khan, a senior figure in the South African Police Service (SAPS) Crime Intelligence. ### BODY: The Madlanga Commission has heard allegations that Khan, who was seized at his home in Houghton and charged with offences relating to unwrought precious metals in May 2026, was involved in leaking police secrets, political interference, contract manipulation, and a murder cover-up.
The Commission is investigating corruption and malpractice within South Africa’s law enforcement agencies.
Khan’s seized devices have revealed thousands of chats that appear to be damning, including references to luxury properties, high-end sports cars, and a Rolex Submariner worth about R200,000.
According to the Daily Maverick, these communications expose corruption, luxury assets, and connections to political figures, indicating deep — seated decay within South Africa’s law enforcement agencies.
In court papers, Khan warned that unrestricted access to his seized devices could lead to assassinations, as they contain confidential information that could compromise undercover operations.
This has raised concerns about the potential for retaliation against Khan and others involved in the investigation.
The case against Khan is significant not only for its implications for the South African Police Service but also for the broader question of corruption within the country’s institutions.
The revelations from Khan’s seized devices have sparked a national conversation about the integrity of law enforcement and the need for transparency and accountability.
### KICKER: As the Madlanga Commission continues its inquiry, the fate of Major-General Feroz Khan and the wider implications of the investigation remain unclear.
The story will be closely watched by the public and international observers alike, as South Africa grapples with the challenge of ensuring that its law enforcement agencies are truly serving the public interest.
