Major General Dumisani Khumalo, the head of the South African Police Service’s (SAPS) Crime Intelligence unit, was arrested on Thursday at OR Tambo International Airport by the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC).
The arrest stems from allegations of unlawful senior appointments within the police force, marking a significant development in South Africa’s ongoing battle against corruption.
Details of the Arrest
The arrest took place on Thursday, 26 June 2025, in the busy terminal of OR Tambo International Airport, a key travel hub in Johannesburg. Khumalo was taken into custody by IDAC officials, an action that has sparked immediate attention across the country. During a media briefing in the Western Cape, National Police Commissioner Fannie Masemola confirmed the arrest, revealing he had only recently learned of it. “I also picked it up now from the Provincial Commissioner of Gauteng, he did inform me that he just learnt that he [Khumalo] has been arrested by the ID. That’s all I can say. What for? I don’t know,” Masemola stated. Khumalo is set to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate Court on Friday, 27 June 2025, where the charges against him will be clarified.
Who is Major General Dumisani Khumalo?
Major General Dumisani Khumalo has been a prominent figure in SAPS since joining as a student constable in 1991. Over his 30-year career, he climbed the ranks, serving in various critical roles. From 2006 to 2018, he was the Component Head for National Operational Coordination, managing police resources in crime hotspots nationwide. Between 2018 and 2022, he worked in KwaZulu-Natal, focusing on intelligence-driven operations, before being appointed head of Crime Intelligence in 2022.
