SOUTH AFRICA – The South African Police Service (SAPS) has officially confirmed the dismissal of Major General Feroz Khan from the national police force. This decisive action underscores the organization’s enforcement of internal accountability after the senior officer failed to participate in the mandated disciplinary process.
According to a statement released by a SAPS spokesperson, Major General Khan was deemed dismissed in terms of Regulation 9(7)(b) of the SAPS Discipline Regulations. This administrative action was formally triggered by his failure to appear before the designated senior officer responsible for managing the expeditious disciplinary process.
The police service used the announcement to emphasize its unwavering commitment to accountability, discipline, and professional conduct within the organization. The spokesperson reiterated a core institutional principle: no member, regardless of rank or position, is above the law or the applicable disciplinary framework.
Acknowledging that the matter has been the subject of ongoing legal proceedings, the SAPS noted that it will continue to respect and abide by the decisions of the courts. The service further stated that it will provide additional information regarding the case only where legally permissible, maintaining compliance with judicial processes while upholding transparency.
