Madlanga Commission | IDAC boss Andrea Johnson and now-retired NPA’s Shamilla Batohi accused of misconduct

The Madlanga Commission is investigating allegations of misconduct against Andrea Johnson, the head of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC), and retired National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) official Shamilla Batohi. Testimony from retired Colonel Kobus Roelofse revealed that Johnson allegedly leaked sensitive information about suspect Major General Feroz Khan to him via a private Gmail account controlled by a female Colonel. This occurred in 2018, and the information was reportedly sent through former journalist Barry Bateman. Roelofse claims that Johnson knew about the complainant's involvement in the case and denied any wrongdoing. He also suggested that Johnson's communication with Batohi may have delayed the completion of an affidavit for four years. The case initially involved allegations of assault against Khan, but the NPA closed the case in early 2022.
