Adams provides reasons for unanswered Madlanga Inquiry’s emails
Fadiel Adams is being asked about investigations into seven senior Crime Intelligence officials.
National Coloured Congress Member of Parliament Fadiel Adams commenced his testimony before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in Pretoria. He was questioned about his alleged involvement in the investigation of seven senior Crime Intelligence officials, with the head of the operation being Dumisani Khumalo. Adams had submitted an affidavit accusing the officials of corruption and misappropriation of secret service funds, which prompted the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC) to launch its own investigation.
During his testimony, Adams provided an explanation for his reluctance to respond to the commission's emails. He stated, "I observed an email asking three questions, however I expected more questions, therefore I did not respond to it." However, Adams clarified that this was not a complete excuse for his actions. He went on to say, "I’ve had, and I place this on record and you can summon the IT guys from Parliament here if you want to, that I’ve had numerous issues with my laptop, and although this is not an excuse, I’m just trying to explain to you the situation I was in, I’m still in with this laptop."
