Adams concedes he was not truthful about interactions with Nkabinde
Adams previously testified that his first contact with Nkabinde was on the 1st of November 2024
Fadiel Adams, a member of the National Coloured Congress, admitted during a hearing before the Madlanga Commission in Pretoria that he had provided inaccurate information regarding his meetings with Cedric Nkabinde, the chief of staff for Police Minister Senzo Mchunu. Adams had previously stated that their first meeting took place on November 1, 2024.
However, evidence lawyer Lee-Seegele Ncube introduced an email exchange that demonstrated earlier communication between the two individuals. In response to this new evidence, Adams acknowledged that his initial statement was inaccurate and corrected his testimony. He expressed surprise at having to correct himself, stating, "Yes, no, my sequence is here.
And I wasn't even trying to catch you out in a lie." The Madlanga Commission of Inquiry continued its proceedings on August 21, 2026, with Adams' admission adding further context to the ongoing investigation.
