Advocate Andrea Johnson, the head of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption IDAC, has disputed claims that IDAC senior investigator Brian Padayachee is being used to target certain South African Police Service SAPS Crime Intelligence officials.
KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lt-Gen Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi made the claim recently before Parliaments ad hoc committee probing his allegations of criminality, political interference and corruption in the criminal justice system.
Padayachee was reportedly involved in an investigation that led to the arrest of Crime Intelligence Divisional Commander Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo and other officials in June.
