SAD| A Well-Known Man Linked To Feroz Khan Shot Dead Ahead Of Madlanga Testimony, Check This

A suspected associate of dismissed Crime Intelligence boss Major-General Feroz Khan has reportedly been shot dead in Ekurhuleni, in an incident believed to have been a targeted attack.

The shooting comes at a particularly sensitive time, with Khan expected to appear before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. The commission has been examining serious allegations involving policing, organised crime and alleged corruption, with Khan’s evidence expected to attract significant attention.

According to the information surrounding the latest shooting, the alleged associate was travelling in a vehicle when gunmen opened fire. The victim was fatally wounded, while another person who was travelling in the same vehicle was also injured during the attack.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation. At this stage, it has not been established publicly who was responsible for the attack or what motive may have been behind it. Authorities are expected to investigate whether the shooting was connected to the victim’s alleged association with Khan or whether it was linked to another dispute.

The timing of the killing has nevertheless raised concerns because of Khan’s impending appearance before the commission. Khan has been at the centre of significant scrutiny during the inquiry, which has heard testimony and allegations concerning the activities of senior police officials and individuals allegedly connected to criminal networks.

Khan’s appearance before the commission has already faced delays. According to the commission’s official record, he previously failed to appear under subpoena, while part of his evidence was being considered for an in-camera hearing because of the sensitivity of certain information.

The latest shooting adds another disturbing development to a commission that has already been overshadowed by violence involving people connected to its proceedings. In June, Khan himself was shot and wounded in Johannesburg shortly before he was due to testify, an incident that was described in reporting as an alleged assassination attempt.

The death of another person reportedly linked to Khan is therefore likely to attract close attention as investigators work to establish exactly what happened.

For now, the alleged connection between the deceased and Khan, as well as any possible link between the shooting and the commission, should be treated with caution until confirmed by investigators.

The focus will now turn to the police investigation and to Khan’s long-awaited testimony. His appearance could provide further information about some of the allegations that have emerged during the commission’s proceedings.

As the inquiry enters another important stage, the latest shooting has once again highlighted the serious security concerns surrounding individuals connected to the testimony and investigations before the Madlanga Commission.
