PRETORIA, GAUTENG -- The court case against crime intelligence boss General Dumisani Khumalo was postponed after the presiding officer, Chief Magistrate Vusimuzi Mahlangu, recused himself. The state filed an application to review the recusal.

According to SABC News, Khumalo's case was postponed to 6 November after Mahlangu recused himself from the case. Mahlangu announced his decision on 13 October. He was subpoenaed to appear before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.

The state applied to have his recusal reviewed. The spokesperson of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC), Henry Mamothane, said that IDAC did not view him as a biased presiding officer.

Khumalo was arrested in June on charges of fraud and corruption. He and other senior police officers were charged with allegedly irregularly appointing 30-year-old Dineo Mokwele for a position she was not qualified for.
