Dumisani Khumalo: South Africa's police intelligence chief arrested over fraud allegations
- On 26 June, Lt-Gen Dumisani Khumalo, head of Crime Intelligence, was arrested at OR Tambo Airport and appeared in Pretoria court the next day.
- Investigations into abuse of Crime Intelligence funds led to arrests of Khumalo and others, linked to unauthorised property deals worth over R45 million without approvals.
- Arrests of senior police officers, including Khumalo, are backed by evidence of R22.7 million spent on a Pretoria hotel and R22.8 million on Durban property, alongside theft reports.
- The Democratic Alliance welcomed the arrests as a necessary step, with Ian Cameron calling for integrity, skills, and lifestyle audits amid expectations of further detentions.
- The scandal underscores links to Zuma-era state capture, warns of potential collapse of Crime Intelligence, and prompts calls for urgent reforms and accountability from Police Minister Senzo Mchunu.
