Former top cop Johan Booysen ordered to drop investigation into businessman.

Panday allegedly paid about R30,000 for a birthday bash for Ngobeni's husband, Maj-Gen Lucas Ngobeni. It has been alleged that Panday, who has links to former president Jacob Zuma, was then favoured by Ngobeni to obtain a police ­accommodation contract during the 2010 ­Soccer World Cup. It is alleged that Panday inflated prices and pocketed about R60m.

"On face value, it was clear there were some irregularities at supply chain management at the provincial level of [the police]. All transactions during the World Cup period had gone through the books of one particular businessman in KZN, Thoshan Panday," Booysen said.
