## Resource

Investigator Brian Padayachee flatly denies being part of a rumored “Khan cabal” in SAPS, insisting he has no knowledge of such a group — but admits he’s known Khan as a senior officer and has always been wary of him, noting Khan’s changing demeanor over time. As Khan faces mounting legal heat — including allegations of bribery, assault, and interfering in a precious metals case — he remains on bail and is still awaiting trial. The Madlanga Commission continues probing Khan’s conduct, including claims of leaking secrets and meddling in police operations, while Khan himself was recently hospitalized after an alleged assassination attempt.
