Lieutenant General Dumisani Khumalo, head of Crime Intelligence in South Africa’s police service, continues in his role after fraud and corruption charges against him and six senior officers are withdrawn. The charges are dropped on Friday, and Khumalo remains responsible for running the police’s spy unit and the political killings task team.
South African media report that Khumalo shifts attention back to organised crime following the decision. The South African outlet says SAPS reacts by welcoming the withdrawal of the charges as part of Khumalo refocusing his work. Across the reports, the central point is the same: the charges are removed, and Khumalo is able to remain in charge of his existing assignments rather than stepping aside while facing prosecution.
