Crime Intelligence Boss Khumalo Faces Court Over Corruption Allegations
In a development that has reignited debate over accountability within South Africa’s security agencies, the head of Crime Intelligence, Major General Dumisani Khumalo, is expected to appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday.
Khumalo’s court appearance follows allegations of corruption and abuse of office linked to the mismanagement of the division’s secret service funds, a matter that has long cast a shadow over the country’s law enforcement leadership.
The seasoned intelligence officer, once hailed for his role in several high-profile operations, now finds himself at the centre of a scandal that has prompted calls for sweeping reforms in the police’s intelligence wing.
Authorities have remained tight-lipped about the specific charges, but sources suggest the case stems from ongoing investigations into irregular procurement and financial misconduct within the intelligence community.
Khumalo’s appearance before the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court is expected to set the tone for what could become one of the most closely watched legal battles involving South Africa’s security establishment in recent years.
