@hlatsionlinenews: **IMAGINE GETTING SUSPENDED... FOR INVESTIGATING WHERE R360 MILLION WENT 👀** This one's complicated, but let's break it down simply Imtiaz Fazel, South Africa's Inspector General of Intelligence, was suspended after investigating something powerful people didn't want investigated He was asked by then Police Minister Senzo Mchunu to look into Crime Intelligence, including the irregular purchase of a Pretoria hotel using secret service funds, allegedly to set up covert operations While he investigated, Crime Intelligence boss Dumisani Khumalo was building a covert unit to go after a cartel linked to a whistleblower's murder. That cartel, the commission later heard, reached deep into police and intelligence circles, and was tied to a R360 million police healthcare tender As Fazel's investigation got close, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni tried to get him to pause it, even though she had no actual authority over his work. He refused He finished his report in May 2025. Weeks later, Khumalo was arrested. Then KZN Police Commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi went public, accusing Mchunu and other senior officials of protecting a criminal syndicate Then it was Fazel's turn. His security clearance was pulled months later, accused of leaking classified information, with no actual evidence presented. Not long after, President Cyril Ramaphosa suspended him Fazel is now taking this to court, saying the whole process was unconstitutional and that he was punished simply for doing his job The man meant to watch South Africa's intelligence services may have been taken out for getting too close to the truth Hlatsi Online News.
