Adams to take the stand at Madlanga Commission

Fadiel Adams will be asked about his role in the probe of senior Crime Intelligence officials.

Fadiel Adams, a National Coloured Congress Member of Parliament, is set to testify before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry in Pretoria on Wednesday. The focal point of the inquiry will be his alleged involvement in the investigation of seven senior Crime Intelligence officials, with Dumisani Khumalo at the helm. The commission will also scrutinize Adams' Section 27 affidavit, which initiated the probe into corruption allegations within Crime Intelligence.

Adams' scheduled testimony was postponed last week after he submitted his sworn statement and supporting documents at the eleventh hour. This tardiness drew criticism from Inquiry Chairperson, Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga, who lambasted Adams for lacking seriousness towards the inquiry. Upon his appearance, Adams will be grilled on his Section 27 complaint and the information he provided to the investigators.
