A commission hearing into the circumstances around Feroz Khan hears allegations that a medical certificate (“sick note”) was backdated after the South African Police Service (SAPS) received it. The claim is raised as disputed paperwork is presented for scrutiny, with the focus on the certificate’s dating and recorded medical details.
During the session, Hassim submits the contested medical document to the commission and highlights inconsistencies, including mismatches in dates and information contained on the certificate. The testimony centres on whether the document’s timeline aligns with when SAPS received it and when it is said to have been issued or amended.
At the same time, the hearing context indicates that the commission is examining competing accounts and evaluating the credibility and reliability of evidence presented in connection with the case. The reported emphasis is on document verification rather than on any final finding by the commission at this stage.
