The Madlanga Commission has placed evidence on record linking South African police crime intelligence boss Maj-Gen Feroz Khan to a R50 million National Treasury tender.
The commission's findings suggest Khan had a hand in the procurement process, adding to allegations that he received kickbacks from a separate R280 million contract.
The evidence, reportedly found on Khan's phone, was presented during the commission's proceedings.
The disclosure marks a significant escalation in the probe into alleged corruption within South Africa's security and public finance sectors.
The R50 million tender is now under scrutiny alongside the larger R280 million contract previously linked to the general.
This development intensifies pressure on South African institutions to address governance risks.
