  • Former Crime Intelligence Brigadier Tiyani Hlungwani requested to testify before the Madlanga commission to explain why Maj-Gen Feroz Khan discussed activating a counter-intelligence operation involving journalist Marianne Thamm.
  • The commission refused Hlungwani's request, stating the issues fall outside its mandate, which focuses on systemic criminality, political interference, and corruption within the criminal justice system.
  • Hlungwani lodged a formal complaint regarding the alleged leakage of a classified National Treasury document linked to suspended former Crime Intelligence head Peter Jacobs.
  • He claimed a counter-intelligence investigation into the classified information leak was launched under Maj-Gen Khan's responsibilities according to the National Strategic Intelligence Act.
  • Hlungwani denied any connection between Khan and a burglary at Thamm's home, asserting his personal knowledge of the counter-intelligence section's involvement due to his complaint.
