Gauteng Hawks head Maj-Gen Ebrahim Kadwa has initiated a legal challenge against the Madlanga commission of inquiry and acting police minister Firoz Cachalia to have his phone with state secrets returned.
The phone was seized by police in May during Kadwas arrest in a case related to a breach of the Precious Metals Act and a charge of defeating and obstructing the course of justice.
The charges emanate from a 2021 case. Kadwa faces charges alongside police crime intelligence operational support head Maj-Gen Feroz Khan and businessperson Tariq Downes.
