Khumalo says his police training was mainly to coordinate operations

Head of Crime Intelligence Dumisani Khumalo said his training in the police was mainly to coordinate operations almost like a “choir conductor".

Khumalo was responding to questions from the evidence leader about not having any detective experience during his rise in the police.

He is giving evidence before Parliament’s ad hoc committee investigating allegations of police corruption on Thursday.

He is expected to face questions over the next two days about his role in Crime Intelligence and the disbanding of the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT), which he headed.

“Because when you are coordinating operations, you are like a choir conductor who must be able to sing and direct all parts of the choir. So, the theory I will get from each and every operational plan that I have to implement,” Khumalo said.
