BREAKING NEWS: Suspended Inspector General of Intelligence, Imtiaz Fazel, had his security clearance revoked for allegedly leaking classified information to a member of parliament and a prominent journalist.
Fazel’s marriage to a Moroccan woman who works at the Doha embassy in Pretoria was also raised as a red flag.
He was nominated for the position by two DA members of parliament and motivated by a senior member of ANC in parliament.
As IG, Fazel is believed to have made several questionable international trips to Jordan, in the Middle East, Iran, Brazil, New York and New Orleans, where he was reportedly accompanied by a former apartheid defence intelligence operative, whom he recruited to the IG’s office.
One suspended police general is alleged to have been a frequent visitor at the IG’s office and the leader of the National Coloured Congress, Fadel Adams, also visited Fazel in his office in November 2024 after opening a case against crime intelligence boss, Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo, at Orlando Police and in Cape Town.
Adams opened six similar cases against Khumalo at different police stations.
But in his affidavit challenging the withdrawal of his security clearance and subsequent suspension by President Cyril Ramaphosa, Fazel is telling a different story.
UPDATE:
Maj-Gen Feroz Khan was shot at about 11pm. He was driving in Third Avenue, Houghton, when gunmen in a white Mercedes Benz approached him. It’s believed two shots were fired. 9mm cartridges were retrieved at the scene.
Khan is undergoing emergency surgery at this hour.
