Adams describes Mkhwanazi as an apartheid-era police officer

National Coloured Congress Member of Parliament Fadiel Adams testified before the Madlanga Commission that KwaZulu-Natal Police Commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi was a provocative individual who referred to former MK cadres serving in the South African Police Service (SAPS) as if they were apartheid-era officers.

Adams found Mkhwanazi's comments offensive, given the struggles and sacrifices made by these struggle veterans who joined the police force post-democracy. Adams specifically mentioned General Jeremy Veary and General Andre Tio as examples of these men who had sacrificed their prime to fight for their country. He accused the Parliament's Police Portfolio Committee of failing to hold the SAPS accountable.

Adams is set to provide further testimony regarding his Section 27 affidavit, which led to the arrest of seven Crime Intelligence officials, including head Dumisani Khumalo. Adams noted that SAPS officials often avoid answering questions or provide standard responses during appearances before the Portfolio Committee. He recounted an incident where he asked the National Commissioner about the appointment process of his family members in the office, and another instance where he questioned why Lieutenant-General Dumisani Kumalo was allowed to purchase a redundant cell phone grabber.
