The alleged attempted assassination of Crime Intelligence Deputy Head Feroz Khan has taken another dramatic turn after investigators reportedly recovered a handwritten note at the scene
where he was shot in Houghton. The note allegedly calls for criminal charges to be opened against Colonel Khoromi and General Khumalo, who are themselves being investigated by the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption. Khan remains in critical condition in hospital after he was ambushed by unknown gunmen travelling in a Mercedes-Benz. Now, as police assemble a high-level team involving the Hawks, Crime Intelligence and the Political Killings Task Team, new questions are emerging. Who wrote the note? Why was it at the scene? Was it connected to Khan, or could it have been deliberately placed there? The shooting also comes just days before Khan was due to appear
before the Madlanga Commission, adding another layer of complexity to a case already generating intense public interest.
