Brown Mogotsi revealed to an Ad Hoc Committee that a police officer, linked to Vusimusi 'Cat' Matlala, claimed Major General Dumisani Khumalo ordered the removal of Major General Feroz Khan, Head of Counter and Security in Crime Intelligence. This information, recorded in a transcript, unfolded during Mogotsi's investigation, although he did not initially realize the witness's connection to Matlala. Mogotsi's engagement with Matlala continued due to ongoing investigations concerning a tender, with assistance from suspended Deputy National Commissioner Lt-Gen Shadrack Sibiya to obtain Matlala's contact details.
