SAPS Dismisses Major General Feroz Khan After Hearing No-Show
SAPS said Feroz Khan was deemed dismissed after he missed an expedited disciplinary hearing, following a Labour Court setback over his attempt to halt the process.
- On Wednesday, the South African Police Service dismissed Major-General Feroz Khan after he failed to appear before the senior officer handling his disciplinary process, deemed dismissed under Regulation 9 of the SAPS Discipline Regulations.
- The dismissal followed a Labour Court setback on Monday, August 31, when the court struck off Khan's urgent application to interdict the disciplinary proceedings on allegations he brought the police into disrepute.
- Khan's troubles intensified recently, with the Madlanga Commission hearing evidence of financial irregularities: he acquired about 30 vehicles in one year and held a property portfolio estimated at R39-million.
- Khan faces a criminal case in the Kempton Park Magistrates' Court and has been subject to extensive evidence at the commission, though the allegations remain untested as he has not yet testified.
- Police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe stated, "No member, regardless of rank or position, is above the law or the applicable disciplinary framework," reiterating SAPS's commitment to accountability and professional conduct.
