The Madlanga commission has revealed evidence linking Maj-Gen Feroz Khan, head of police crime intelligence, to a R280m National Treasury contract and a R50m tender for automotive spare parts.

WhatsApp chats between Khan and entrepreneur Ismail Vally show they colluded to secure the tender, with Khan facilitating the process through his connection with National Treasury official Lt-Gen Molefe Fani.

Documents indicate the tender, awarded to Vally’s company Kaizen Motor Spares Distributors, exceeded R50m, raising concerns about corruption risks in state contracts.

Khan, who owns automotive businesses, did not disclose his business interests to the state, despite receiving R3m in remuneration from one business—three times his state salary.His phone also contained details of a R3.3m private jet trip for former Ekurhuleni city manager Imogen Mashazi, paid for by businessman Zee Nxumalo.The commission warns of potential conflicts of interest, abuse of public office, and the need to investigate who ultimately funded the trip.These revelations highlight systemic issues in law enforcement and state procurement processes.
