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.
