MK Party MP Vusi Shongwe has told the Madlanga Commission that suspended Crime Intelligence Major-General Feroz Khan allegedly tried to buy his silence after Shongwe named Khan before Parliament’s Ad Hoc Committee.
Shongwe said Khan, acting through businessman Yusuf Careem, allegedly offered him a R2 million (about $121,000) Checkers security tender, R10 million (about $607,000) in cash, and an armoured BMW 7 Series.
“What do you want? We can look after you.”
Shongwe said he rejected the alleged offers and did not want the tender.
The claims were made under oath as part of the commission’s investigation into alleged corruption, political interference and criminal networks within Crime Intelligence.
