The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry will continue proceedings against Major-General Feroz Khan, who is currently in critical condition following a shooting.

The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry will proceed on Friday with evidence against senior Crime Intelligence officer Major-General Feroz Khan in his absence.

Khan was scheduled to testify before the commission on Wednesday but his legal team stated he is in an extremely critical condition following a shooting in Houghton on Sunday, and he is not simply "in a hospital bed eating jelly".

The witness’s legal representative, Advocate Zubair Khan, had filed an application for in-camera proceedings, but withdrew it after the commission took issue with its lack of specificity.

Adv Khan dismissed suggestions that the shooting incident was contrived and that Maj-Gen Khan was in good health in the hospital, saying he is unconscious, sedated, and unable to speak.
