The magistrate imposed strict conditions after prosecutors said Adams interfered in the investigation into Sindiso Magaqa’s 2017 murder.
- On Friday, Pinetown Magistrate Wendalyn Robinson granted National Coloured Congress leader Fadiel Adams R10,000 bail after a high-stakes hearing on his alleged interference in a murder investigation.
