Crime Intelligence boss, 5 co-accused granted R10,000 bail

JOHANNESBURG - Police Crime Intelligence boss, Dumisani Khumalo, along with five of his six co-accused, have been granted R10,000 bail each. This is despite the group requesting as little as R1,000. The Magistrate at the Pretoria Magistrate's Court said the amount was an insult to the justice system and refused. A seventh accused, Philani Lushaba, faces a pending corruption case and has to reapply for bail under a Schedule 6 offence. The others face a schedule 5 offence as they have no other cases. The group face four charges of corruption and fraud amounting to R1 million. Police spokesperson Athlenda Mathe says the Commissioner is still waiting for a report on the case.

Head of Crime Intelligence Dumisani Khumalo in court over unlawful police appointment

Crime Intelligence boss Dumisani Khumalo and six colleagues appeared in the magistrate's court in Pretoria where they applied for bail. Dumisani Khumalo, the head of Police Crime Intelligence, along with six colleagues, appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Friday to apply for bail concerning serious allegations related to unlawful senior appointments within the police force. On their first court appearance, all but one of the accused were granted bail set at R10,000 each. The arrested include five police officials who stood alongside Khumalo in the dock. They were arrested on Thursday, June 26, 2025. However, the group's Chief Financial Officer, Major General Philani Lushaba, remains in custody due to a pending case, where it was ruled that he could not be released on a technicality. Henry Mamothame, spokesperson for the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC), provided further clarity on the proceedings, confirming that Lushaba's pending case did not reflect on the affidavit during bail application.
