EFF leader Julius Malema was named in the evidence presented at the Madlanga Commission this week.
EFF leader Julius Malema came under scrutiny at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry this week after WhatsApp messages between suspended Crime Intelligence head Major-General Feroz Khan and tobacco executive Mohamed Sayed were presented as evidence.
Evidence leader Advocate Matthew Chaskalson told the commission on Tuesday that investigators had extracted data from Khan's cellphone covering the period between 2020 and 2023.
According to the WhatsApp messages presented before the commission, Khan allegedly coordinated, through Sayed, a plan with Malema to remove former Inspector-General of Intelligence Setlhomamaru Dintwe. The commission also heard allegations that Khan shared confidential case information with Malema, despite him not being authorised to receive it.
In an affidavit submitted to the commission, Malema disputed the evidentiary value of the messages, saying he could not verify their authenticity.
