Mkhwanazi has told the Madlanga Commission in Pretoria that Cele requested General Dumisani Khumalo, a member of Crime Intelligence tasked to handle the disciplinary matter, to resign and assist in fighting crime in Gauteng.

Mkhwanazi says he believes this was an attempt by Cele to avert the process against Khan.
He has also accused Khan of feeding crime intelligence information to Police Minister, Senzo Mchunu’s alleged associate, Brown Mogotsi.

“General Khumalo just laughed and said ‘don’t worry. The general is not serious about that’. I asked what he meant and he said he wanted me to back off on the case against General Khan from Crime Intelligence,” says Mkhwanazi.

“General Khumalo says this is the approach of Cele. He wants me to back off,” adds Mkhwanazi.
