KWAZULU-NATAL - KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi has informed the Madlanga commission what led to the breakdown in his relationship with former Police Minister Bheki Cele.

Yesterday Mkhwanazi continued with this testimony, where he accused Cele of attempting to interfere with an investigation and subsequent disciplinary hearing against Major General Feroz Khan, who heads the Counter-Intelligence and Security Intelligence division.

On July 9, 2021, Khan was called to a scene in Johannesburg, where senior police officers had allegedly offloaded bags of drugs from a delivery truck onto their police van. In that incident, police officers from the Booysens station intercepted their colleagues from taking the drugs they had offloaded, and then called Khan to the scene.

Three years later, on October 25, 2024, Khan was subjected to a disciplinary hearing over this matter. Mkhwanazi chaired the proceedings.
