Ex-anti-corruption chief Andrea Johnson and Feroz Khan arrested, granted R10,000 bail

Former head of the NPA's Investigating Directorate Against Corruption, advocate Andrea Johnson, and former police major-general Feroz Khan were arrested on Friday morning and granted bail of R10,000 each in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court. They face charges of defeating the ends of justice, assault, and contravening the NPA Act, stemming from an alleged attempt to interfere in a 2018 case where Khan allegedly assaulted a brigadier under his command. Johnson resigned from IDAC in July after testifying before the Madlanga Commission, while Khan was dismissed from the police service in September. Also in this briefing: the United States prepares to rule on South Africa's AGOA access, and the Proteas take a 287-run lead into the final day against Australia at Newlands.
