The Independent Directorate of Appeals and Complaints (IDAC) has officially denied reports circulating in the media regarding the arrest of Dumisani Khumalo, head of South Africa’s Crime Intelligence division. These reports, which gained traction recently, prompted the IDAC to issue a clarifying statement. The agency asserts that Khumalo remains free and has not been taken into custody. This denial aims to correct misinformation and address public concern stemming from the inaccurate news. The IDAC did not specify the origin of the initial arrest reports, but moved swiftly to dispel the claims. No further details regarding the source of the false reports or potential investigations were provided.
