DEVELOPING:
MADLANGA COMMISSIONβS POSITION ON MAJOR-GENERAL FEROZ KHANβS COURT APPLICATION
8 JUNE 2026
* The Commission has issued a notice to Maj-Gen Feroz Khan to appear and testify on 1 July 2026.
* β The Commission has set aside several days for his testimony, and he is expected to testify for as long as is necessary until he is excused by the Chairperson of the Commission, Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga.
* β The Commission issued a Regulation 10 (6) notice to the SAPS to access General Khanβs devices which were seized a few weeks ago on the 10th of May.
* β On Wednesday, 3 June 2026, the Commission was served with an urgent application brought by General Khan in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, in which he was seeking to interdict and restrain the Commission and the SAPS, amongst others, from dealing with any of his devices, and any data or information on his devices.
* β The Commission replied with a lengthy affidavit on Saturday, 6 June 2026, explaining why the material on the devices was necessary for the Commissionβs processes.
* β Yesterday (Sunday), the Commission learnt that General Khan had secretly approached the court with an attempt to hold the proceedings in camera and to deny the public access to any of the affidavits of the Commission.
* β This morning (Monday) General Khan abandoned that urgent application to have the initial application heard in camera. He also abandoned his initial urgent application against the Commission.
* Following a case management meeting this morning before the Acting Deputy Judge President, Madame Justice Lebogang Modiba, the withdrawal of both General Khanβs applications will be embodied in a court order.
* β As soon as that order has been issued, the Commission will make its affidavits available to the media and the public.
* As matters stand, Major-General Khan is set to appear before the Commission on the 1st of July 2026 and his testimony is key to to the Commissionβs work, given the numerous serious allegations which have been made against him and other implicated SAPS officers, as well as other individuals.
