South African Police Service dismisses Crime Intelligence deputy head Feroz Khan

Saps stated that no member, regardless of rank, is above the law. Khan's dismissal comes after the Labour Court rejected his urgent bid to halt the disciplinary proceedings. An expedited disciplinary inquiry found him guilty of misconduct and bringing Saps into disrepute.

Police national spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe confirmed Khan was deemed dismissed after failing to appear before the designated senior officer for the disciplinary process. Khan's legal team has reportedly confirmed receipt of the dismissal notice and plans to challenge his removal. Parliament's portfolio committee on police chairperson Ian Cameron welcomed the decision, emphasizing the need for accountability.

Khan was also absent from Kempton Park Magistrate’s Court for a precious metals matter and sought a postponement from the Madlanga commission on medical grounds, which was declined without an independent medical examination and submission of a medical report and statement.
