South African police general shot days before corruption inquiry testimony

A senior South African police official, Major General Feroz Khan, was shot and hospitalized in Johannesburg days before he was set to testify before a high-profile corruption inquiry. The attack occurred as Khan was traveling home, and he required emergency surgery. Authorities have begun investigating the incident, though they have cautioned against assuming a direct connection between the shooting and Khan's planned testimony. Khan, who was previously arrested in May for alleged involvement in illegal gold trading, was expected to address allegations related to a failed 2021 drug operation and his ties to political figures. His testimony had initially been requested in private but was later withdrawn. This incident follows previous threats against witnesses involved in the inquiry, including the killing of another witness in December.
