Dhlomo's post sparked debate, with social media users sharing different theories and opinions about Khan's condition.

Here are some of the comments:

@sipho28825 said:

“Yes, they said he is sedated or something like that.”

@Lucky_Zitha_ joked:

“They must tickle him when they get there.”

@marvelmistyk suggested:

“What we need verified is whether the bullet that apparently lodged near his spine has been removed or not. If not, why not? Are there no specialist surgeons who can remove it or is it a strategic decision not to do so?”

@BrendaWardle remarked:

“Can't shake the feeling that something is brewing behind the scenes. This will not end well.”

@Kapiyana_68 asked:

“How did he get a wound on his legs while driving? Did they not say the car didn't have bullet holes unless I did not read the news properly (I stand to be corrected).”

@MrorMsdrunkard commented:

“What I like is they are proceeding on Friday without him. After they are done, he can be charged and locked again and this time with no bail.”

What injuries did Feroz Khan sustain?

Khan was shot at around 23:00 on 3rd Avenue in Houghton when gunmen in a white Mercedes-Benz ambushed him. Khan was found by a passerby hanging out of the Suzuki Baleno he was driving, and Khan indicated he had been shot in the abdomen.

Khan’s lawyer, Kylen Ghirao, confirmed to News24 on Monday, 29 June 2026, that a bullet penetrated his abdomen and he had to undergo emergency surgery.
