The investigative work and submission by Mr Shongwe were prompted by the serious nature and gravity of allegations against General Feroz Khan.
“What prompted my submission were the serious nature and gravity of the allegations levelled against u General Khan.”
Mr Shongwe, alias Thulani, confirmed that the evidence he wishes to speak to relates to incidents following the questions he raised in the Ad Hoc Committee concerning allegations against Major General Feroz Khan.
“the evidence that you want to speak today is what followed, incidents that followed the questions that you raised in the Ad Hoc Committee.”
During the Ad Hoc Committee proceedings, Mr Shongwe raised many questions, particularly concerning allegations against Major General Feroz Khan.
“your raised questions, many questions during the sitting of the Ad Hoc Committee, but in particular and what is of relevance today is that you raised questions concerning allegations against Major General Feroz Khan.”
Mrs Shongwe was informed by Ms Londiwe that two individuals were present requesting to see the President and specifically asked to meet with her.
“I then had a conversation with Ms Londiwe, who informed me that two individuals were present requesting to see the President and had specifically asked to meet with me.”
Ms Londiwe usually only arranges meetings and is not part of the meetings when people request to see Mrs Shongwe with President Zuma's permission.
“in most cases, she only arranges meetings and she is never part of the meeting.”
People would request to see Mrs Shongwe through President Zuma, meaning she could not refuse because the President had already given permission.
“They would then tell her that we need to see Baba (the father) to give us permission to see Shongwe. Remember with President Zuma, it is a free way. Everybody is welcome. So people usually would go there so that even if I want to say no, I cannot say no because they already asked the President.”
Mrs Shongwe had never met the individuals who requested the meeting before.
“No, never.”
The meeting was from 13:13 to 13:53 according to vehicle tracker timing evidence.
“It is 13:13 and I was there until 13:53. That is when I arrived there.”
Mrs Shongwe was escorted into the DRK Tactical premises by a single security officer inside the yard and then met a man named Imran who greeted her as 'my brother'.
“When we got there at the gate, there was one security guy who was inside, wearing a big dark clothes, bluish kind of. And that is the guy that opened for us. ... A gentleman with glasses, tiny in body, short, flat beard, came, wearing glasses, came smiling and introduced himself to me, greeting and introduced himself as Imran as I exited my car. He said his name is Imran. Then I also told him my name. Then he was like, oh, I know you. I know you, my brother.”
Mrs Shongwe and Ms Londiwe were escorted into the DRK Tactical premises, passed the reception desk with DRK signage, and taken to a narrow and long boardroom where Imran offered them seats.
“We were escorted into the premises. And as we entered, we passed at the reception desk, bearing the signage that read DRK. ... We were escorted into the left of that receptionist, where then next room is their boardroom. And then we got there. Imran, he offers us a seat. ... The table might be from this corner, maybe to the end there. It is very long, but the width of it, it is not that much. It is maybe like 1.5 or so.”
Prior to the meeting, Mrs Shongwe speculated the meeting was requested because the individuals wished to assist the MK organisation in some way, but she did not receive invitations except through MK channels and was surprised by the request to meet personally.
“Prior to the meeting, my speculation was that the meeting had been requested because they wish to assist the organisation in some way. However, in the course of our conversation ... I only get relations or requests of invites through or for the reason of MK. I hardly get invites just for, I am Shongwe. I think Shongwe is not a person they want ...”
Mrs Hongwemp indicates that a call was placed on speakerphone on or about 10 March 2026 connecting Imran and YusuKajee to her, where she indicated disinterest in further meetings.
“On or about 10 March 2026, I met with Mr Imran and Mr Yusuf Kajee, and telephonically connected them to Mr Shongwe. Their call was placed on speaker phone. Mr Shongwe indicated that he was occupied with work commitments. It was apparent to me that he was not interested in pursuing any further meeting.”
