WATCH | Khumalo continues testimony on cops, power, and cartels at Ad Hoc Committee
Crime Intelligence Head Dumisani Khumalo is continuing with his testimony about corrupt cops, cartels, and political influence in the justice system on Friday.
Khumalo is the second witness to appear before the committee this year after former acting national police commissioner, Khomotso Phahlane.
He addressed the committee on Thursday.
Khumalo told MPs that highly trained uniformed combat teams were allegedly providing services to cartels outside official duty hours, sometimes encountering suspects who openly referenced prior “work” done together.
He described instances where operational secrecy collapsed almost immediately, with covert movements, police stations visited and even vehicle registration plates finding their way to criminal networks via social media.
“We say that because whatever we were doing now this covert operation will find its way to the very same cartel. That is from the resources. I think even the vehicles were all over social media.
“The vehicles with registration plates that were used by the team,” he said
Committee members are expected to grill Khumalo further this morning.
