Dumisani Khumalo, head of the Crime Intelligence division within the South African Police Service (Saps), has been granted bail of R10 000 following his arrest in connection to R45 million corruption scandal.
Khumalo was apprehended on Thursday at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg after what authorities described as an “extensive” investigation into the allegedly unlawful acquisition of two high-value properties.
The properties in question include a boutique hotel in Pretoria North, Gauteng reportedly purchased for R22.7 million, and a commercial building in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), valued at R22.8 million.
Both acquisitions are alleged to have been made without the requisite ministerial approval.
In addition, Khumalo’s arrest is reportedly linked to the controversial appointment of a 29-year-old woman as a police brigadier, despite her reported lack of experience in the field.
The case has been postponed to 13 August.
