A witness, Matlala, testifies in court that he received a claim from former Police Minister Bheki Cele about personnel changes in the South African Police Service. Matlala says Cele told him that Senzo Mchunu wanted Khumalo to be fired and that Khan would take over.
The testimony comes as Matlala faces allegations that he is linked to criminal activities. In the coverage provided, outlets focus on what Matlala reports Cele said, framing it as part of the evidence presented to explain alleged motivations or plans behind leadership or staffing decisions.
Across the source material, the emphasis remains on the same point: Matlala’s account of Cele being the origin of the claim about Khumalo’s alleged dismissal and Khan’s alleged replacement. However, the materials do not include additional corroboration details, official responses, or broader context about the underlying dispute.
