Members of a task team, backed by other law enforcement units, reportedly began the operation just after 6 am on 10 May 2026. It is understood that Major General Feroz Khan resides at the apartment block.

General Khan was the head of the South African Police Service’s Counter-Intelligence and Security Intelligence. In 2025, he was moved to another division within Crime Intelligence. His name has featured during testimony before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

Task team searched another property

According to eNCA’s Pule Letshwiti-Jones, the task team also raided another property in Bryanston earlier in the week and is looking at multiple properties. He also noted that it was unclear whether the members carrying out the operations belonged to the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) or the team set up as a result of the Madlanga Commission.

No arrests have yet been made.
