Is This Why Feroz Khan's Uncle Was Shot Dead? Preggy Padayachee Killed Hours Before Madlanga

Feroz Khan, Preggy Padayachee, and the Madlanga Commission collide on the R21 — Khan’s uncle-in-law was shot dead on Monday evening, hours before the former Crime Intelligence deputy head’s scheduled in-camera testimony. He demanded justice for Feroz Khan outside Milpark Hospital in June. “Whoever did it must pay for it.” On Monday evening, 5 October 2026, the man who said those words — Preggy Padayachee — was reported shot dead on the R21 near Griffiths Road, travelling towards OR Tambo International Airport. This is what has been reported so far. A Fiat broke down. A friend arrived with two others. Shots were fired. One driver tried to flee, lost control, hit a concrete barrier, and was declared dead at the scene. One passenger was hospitalised with a gunshot wound. Another occupant escaped unharmed. Police are investigating murder and attempted murder. Motive: still unknown. No arrests reported at the time of recording. Hours later, on Tuesday 6 October 2026, Major General Feroz Khan was due to give evidence behind closed doors at the Madlanga Commission — an in-camera sitting decided on 2 October, before the R21 shooting. He faces questions on a Treasury IT contract kickback allegation, the Aeroton drug bust, finances, and property. An arrest is the start of a legal process, not the end of one. A family link and striking timing are not proof of a hit. These are allegations and open questions — draw your own conclusions from the record.
