South Africa: Late Affidavit Puts Fadiel Adams Testimony On Hold
Evidence leaders want time to study Adams’s late documents before questioning him on prison visits, secret recordings and Crime Intelligence claims.
- National Coloured Congress leader and MP Fadiel Adams is unlikely to testify at the Madlanga Commission on Tuesday after evidence leaders received his sworn affidavit and supporting documents late Monday night.
- Adams's Section 27 referral triggered the commission's inquiry into "Project Diversion," which examined Crime Intelligence senior officials including divisional commissioner Dumisani Khumalo, though the referral has been criticized for containing discrepancies.
- The Member of Parliament faces scrutiny over conduct at Westville Prison in KwaZulu-Natal, where he allegedly interviewed and recorded prisoners; evidence suggests his complaints extended to the use of money from Crime Intelligence.
- Facing separate criminal charges of fraud and defeating the administration of justice, Adams has publicly stated his readiness to answer questions, though Investigating Directorate Against Corruption State Advocate Drushantha Ramsamy previously argued he should have faced charges.
- When Adams eventually takes the stand, his evidence could illuminate links between politicians, police intelligence, and sensitive criminal cases, as the NCC leader remains under scrutiny regarding interference allegations.
