Madlanga Commission hears Feroz Khan evidence amid health concerns

The Madlanga Commission turned its attention to Major-General Feroz Khan on Friday, with the hearing set aside to begin hearing evidence connected to his testimony, according to CrimeWatch_RSA. The evidence leaders for the sitting are Adv Adila Hassim SC and Adv Thabang Pooe.

Legal team says consultation has not been possible

During the day’s proceedings, attorney Mohammed Vally, who is appearing for Major-General Khan, told the commission that the legal team had not been able to consult with their client because of his condition, as reported by Yusuf Abramjee. Vally added that a full medical report had already been submitted to the commission.

That detail gives the day’s hearing a more delicate tone than a routine appearance. In a commission that has already drawn close public attention, the inability to consult with a key figure in advance naturally raises questions about how the evidence will unfold and how the legal team plans to proceed.

Vally also told the commission, ‘We are here to be present…’, making it clear that despite the consultation barrier, the legal representatives were attending to observe the process. Yusuf Abramjee also noted that Adv Zubair Khan was not present on the day.

In practical terms, that means the hearing continues with the formal legal machinery in place, even if the full client-lawyer preparation that usually shapes a witness-related sitting has not been possible. For followers of the commission, that is the kind of procedural wrinkle that can slow things down, but it also often signals that the next phase may carry more significance than it first appears.

Why this hearing matters

The Madlanga Commission has become one of the closely watched legal processes in the country, with each sitting feeding public curiosity about what evidence may surface next and who will be drawn into the spotlight. Friday’s session, focused on Khan, has already become part of that broader public conversation.

And on X, the updates were enough to keep the matter moving through timelines quickly. It is the sort of hearing that may look technical on paper, but in reality it sits at the centre of a much bigger story about accountability, process, and what the commission may uncover next.

Inquiry proceeds without Khan.

Evidence leader, Adv Hassim SC says she’ll focus on:

– tenders

– abuse of authority

– The Mashazi Trip to London

– financial disclosures https://t.co/Y0B5RqJgFC

With the evidence leaders in place and Khan’s legal team attending despite the consultation issue, the day’s proceedings are likely to be watched closely for both what is said and what is still being held back. For now, the commission has officially turned its gaze toward the Khan evidence, and the room is clearly set for a significant session.
