The Madlanga Commission heard new evidence alleging that EFF leader Julius Malema allegedly conspired with Major-General Feroz Khan and a suspected tobacco smuggler to remove former Crime Intelligence Inspector-General Isaac Dintwe.
The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry heard evidence on Tuesday implicating EFF leader Julius Malema in an alleged plot with Major-General Feroz Khan and suspected tobacco smuggler Mohammed 'Mo' Sayed to oust former Crime Intelligence Inspector-General Isaac Dintwe.
Khan, recovering in hospital after a suspected assassination attempt last month, was absent from the proceedings.
WhatsApp chats between the trio suggested the plot involved Malema tabling parliamentary questions to Dintwe and then Police Minister Bheki Cele about alleged contact with convicted drug lord Timmy Marimuthu and discussions of Crime Intelligence.
The questions for Cele also covered the inspector-general of Intelligence, the ousting of General Peter Jacobs, and an alleged plot involving former president Jacob Zuma and Khan to use state intelligence to back Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma for ANC president.
