WhatsApp messages between suspended crime intelligence boss Maj-Gen Feroz Khan and controversial cigarettes boss Mohammad Sayed show how they allegedly conspired to manipulate procurement in SAPS for their mutual benefit.
These are among the allegations contained in documents before the Madlanga commission.
In an affidavit by commission investigator Tshepo Nyatlo, he outlines how Sayed, a senior executive at tobacco firm Carnilinx, supplied Khan with particulars of the contentious R3m UK trip taken by former Ekurhuleni municipal manager Imogen Mashazi in July 2022, in an alleged scheme to buy influence.
