Feroz Khan’s Uncle Preggy Padayachee Shot Dead — Hours Before Khan’s Madlanga Appearance

Preggy Padayachee, the uncle of Feroz Khan, has been shot dead in a suspected hit on the R21 — just as Khan is expected to appear before the Madlanga Commission. The identification adds a significant new dimension to this story. Padayachee previously spoke publicly on behalf of Khan’s family after Khan himself was shot on 28 June 2026, just days before Khan was originally expected to testify before the Commission. But does the timing mean these shootings are connected? There is currently no evidence establishing that. In this episode, we examine what is known about Preggy Padayachee’s killing and revisit evidence and allegations already placed before the Madlanga Commission involving Khan — including Vusi Shongwe’s testimony, allegations surrounding Brigadier Leonora Phetlhe and Andrea Johnson, the Marianne Thamm evidence, Witness G, Annexure C and Khan’s own shooting on 28 June. We ask the questions that now matter: Why was Preggy Padayachee targeted? Who wanted him dead? Does his killing have any connection to Khan or the Commission — or is the timing simply an extraordinary coincidence? This episode distinguishes verified reporting and testimony from allegations and speculation. #PreggyPadayachee #FerozKhan #MadlangaCommission #FerozKhanShooting #CrimeIntelligence #SAPS #VusiShongwe #AndreaJohnson #MarianneThamm #WitnessG #AnnexureC #SouthAfrica #RulesAndRulers LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This video discusses publicly reported information and allegations and testimony placed before the Madlanga Commission.
