Newly released Madlanga Commission court papers paint a dramatic picture of alleged links between senior crime intelligence figure Feroz Khan, tobacco smugglers, politicians and suspected criminal operatives. The documents contain claims of leaked police secrets, political interference, contract manipulation and connections to a murder cover-up, allegations Khan has yet to answer under oath ahead of his scheduled appearance before the commission on July 1.
After repeatedly forcing a plastic bag over a man’s face so he could not breathe, and beating him over and over again until he died, the killers did not panic.
In fact, one of them was so calm about it that he told his accomplices he would phone SA’s deputy Crime Intelligence head Maj-Gen Feroz Khan to “fix this” and find out how to get rid of the body.
The father of five, Emmanuel Mbense, was then dumped in the Duduza Dam in Nigel.
If the Madlanga Commission’s 750-page court papers are anything to go by, the killers had every reason to be so brazen and confident.
