Madlanga Commission hears allegations against senior police officials Khan and Kadwa

Madlanga Commission hears of unlawful conduct by top cops during a drug bust in Areton, Johannesburg.

The Madlanga Commission heard that Major General Feroz Khan, the deputy head of Crime Intelligence and head of Counter and Security Intelligence, and Major General Ebrahim Kadwa, the Gauteng Provincial Head of the Hawks, “functioned as if they were above the law” during the R300 million Aeroton drug bust.

This was the testimony of Witness I before the Madlanga Commission on Tuesday. His identity is protected.

Witness I told the Commission: “On the day in question, it was evident that certain official individuals functioned as if they were above the law.” This prompted evidence leader Advocate Thabang Pooe to ask, “When you say certain official individuals, who do you mean?”

Witness I said: “I mean both General Khan and Kadwa.”
