MADLANGA COMMISSION: Fadiel Adams’ explosive admission on the mystery Idac affidavit, implicating Andrea Johnson
Idac used an affidavit from National Coloured Congress MP Fadiel Adams to charge top Crime Intelligence members, yet two investigators didn’t know where it came from. On Friday, Adams explained what happened.
National Coloured Congress MP Fadiel Adams testified before the Madlanga Commission that he provided four affidavits to the Investigating Directorate of Corruption (Idac) on January 6, 2025, but later that night, Chief Investigator Dylan Perumal obtained a separate affidavit from him. Both Drushantha Ramsamy and Robert Raphesu, Idac prosecutors and inspectors, testified that only four supplementary statements were taken in their presence, and the additional affidavit was not among them.
Adams claimed Perumal obtained the extra affidavit after instructing him to split the case into three parts, and that Perumal spoke with Andrea Johnson during the call. Johnson denied having knowledge of the additional affidavit during her testimony. Perumal has since been suspended from Idac.
