Operation Dudula

A quid pro quo was taking place involving messages exchanged immediately before the Inspector General questions were formulated, including requests from Mr Sayed to General Khan ostensibly on behalf of Mr Malema regarding arresting persons threatening foreign nationals related to Operation Dudula.

“this process suggests that something of a quid pro quo was taking place if we look at the chronology... a message had been communicated by Mr Sayed to General Khan, ostensibly on behalf of Mr Malema and apparently asking for the arrest of persons making threats to foreign nationals on behalf of Operation Dudula”

Mr Malema sends a complaint about a threat of lawless action by Operation Dudula on the 10th and calls for action, with General Khan following up the next day with a question for the Inspector General, appearing as a quid pro quo exchange.

“Mr Malema sends essentially a complaint about a threat of lawless action by Operation Dudula on the 10th and calls for action to be taken. Then next day, General Khan writes back with a question for the Inspector General. It has the appearance of a quid pro quo”

Mr Sayed forwards to General Khan five messages from Mr Malema that suggest a xenophobic protest threat on June 16, 2021, warning illegal foreign nationals to leave before that date.

“Mr Sayed forwards to General Khan six messages which he says come from Mr Malema ... the first one was a photograph of a person deleted ... the second was a picture of an Operation Dudula poster, threatening to remove all illegal foreign nationals by force and calling for a meeting on June 16 2021 with the threat "If you are operating illegally, you better pack and leave before 16 June."”

The chats suggest a quid pro quo related to the exchange of messages between General Khan and Mr Malema regarding the arrest of persons making threats to foreign nationals on behalf of Operation Dudula.

“this process suggests that something of a quid pro quo was taking place if we look at the chronology ... there is a series of messages ... apparently asking for the arrest of persons making threats to foreign nationals on behalf of Operation Dudula”

Mr Malema complained about a threat of lawlessness by Operation Dudula and called for action to be taken.
