Fadiel Adams’ prison visit case postponed to 11 September
His charges are in connection with visits to detainees in Durban's Westville prison
The case of National Coloured Congress Member of Parliament Fadiel Adams has been postponed from Pinetown Magistrate's Court to the Regional Court on September 11th. The charges against him stem from visits he made to detainees at Durban's Westville prison while their cases were before court. Both detainees were subsequently convicted.
Adams was arrested in May and released on bail amounting to R10,000. He had previously stated that the extent of irregularities in the KwaZulu-Natal Political Killings Task Team would be revealed when he testified before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry the following week. Adams expressed shock at the lack of accountability for killings in KZN, particularly concerning the alleged collusion between police and gangs or paid mercenaries.
The upcoming testimony at Madlanga is expected to shed light on this matter, which Adams described as "shocking" and indicative of a country cheering those turning it into a "narco state."
