## Resource

Colonel Brian Padayachee fires back at claims he leaked sensitive cases to Major-General Feroz Khan, denying any involvement in a rumored “Khan-IDAC cabal” and insisting their past professional relationship was strictly work-related. Testifying before the Madlanga Commission, he questioned whether the Khan now under investigation matches the man he knew from Crime Intelligence. With Khan hospitalized after an alleged assassination attempt and tied to a plot to oust former Inspector-General Isaac Dintwe—allegedly involving Julius Malema and a tobacco smuggler—Padayachee stood firm: he knew nothing of the alleged alliance, never shared case files, and called the accusations vague and unsubstantiated.
