The Madlanga commission has revealed evidence that Police Crime Intelligence boss Maj-Gen Feroz Khan was involved in corrupt practices linked to two high-value tenders.
Khan allegedly received kickbacks from a R280m National Treasury contract and influenced a R50m automotive spare parts tender awarded to Ismail Vally’s company, Kaizen Motor Spares Distributors.
WhatsApp chats between Khan and Vally show they discussed how to secure the tender, with Khan instructing Vally to approach Lt-Gen Molefe Fani, a Treasury official, to facilitate the process.The evidence indicates Khan benefited financially from the deals, with Vally promising to split the proceeds.
The commission also found Khan owned multiple automotive businesses but failed to disclose his interests, including a private jet trip paid for by businessman Ze Nxumalo.These revelations raise serious concerns about corruption, conflict of interest, and abuse of public office within the police force.The case highlights systemic issues in tender processes and the need for transparency in public procurement.
