Crime Intelligence boss Dumisani Khumalo’s arrest ‘averted’, IDAC denies involvement
The Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) has dismissed reports that South African Police Service (SAPS) crime intelligence chief Lieutenant-General Dumisani Khumalo has been arrested.
This comes after reports that Khumalo had been instructed by IDAC to report to Pretoria Central Police Station on Thursday afternoon.
“We wish to indicate that these reports are untrue, as no such arrest has been effected by IDAC,” said spokesperson Henry Mamothame.
Meanwhile, speaking to eNCA outside the Brooklyn police station, Khumalo’s lawyer, James Ndebele.
“I would have to get in contact with IDAC to find out what happened. It's embarrassing for my clients to be put through great expense; to have an attorney instructed to attend the police station with them, at the request of IDAC, only for IDAC not to pitch.”
Ndebele said he was also representing General Nozipho Madondo, who is charged alongside Khumalo in the fraud and corruption matter brought by IDAC.
“From what I am told, a warrant was issued [but] I have not seen one. No further information was provided to them. No specifications were provided.”
Ndebele said he would be reaching out to IDAC to find out what the charges against his clients are.
He said his clients were in “high spirits”, despite feeling abused by the investigative directorate.
