Fadiel Adams testimony before Madlanga Commission likely to be postponed

Staff Reporter

National Coloured Congress leader and MP Fadiel Adams is unlikely to give evidence before the Madlanga Commission on Tuesday after submitting his sworn statement and accompanying documents late on Monday night.

“Whilst Mr Adams is set to appear before the Commission at 0930 this morning, the Commission’s evidence leaders only received a sworn affidavit and related annexures from Mr Adams after 2100 last (Monday) night,” the commission said in a statement early on Tuesday.

“As a result, the evidence leaders are likely to request a postponement in order for the necessary consultations to take place before Mr Adams testifies,” it said.

Adams has raised allegations about suspected wrongdoing within Crime Intelligence, which were subsequently referred to the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption (IDAC).

The commission has heard evidence about how IDAC obtained a Section 27 affidavit from Adams as part of an investigation involving senior Crime Intelligence officials.
