“The NPA’s Investigating Directorate Against Corruption takes note of the media reports on the arrest of the Head of Crime Intelligence General Dumisani Khumalo,” read the statement.

“We wish to set the record straight that General Khumalo has not been arrested nor has anyone else from Crime Intelligence,” Mamothame said.

The statement comes after eNCA reported that Khumalo had been arrested.

The broadcaster reported that Khumalo was being processed at a police station in Pretoria. It was further said that Khumalo’s lawyer was at the police station.
