Fadiel Adams: I won't be intimidated
NCC leader arrested
CRIME SCENE: Pelican Park, Cape Town: The South African Police Service (SAPS) arrested the leader of the National Coloured Congress (NCC) and Member of Parliament, Fadiel Adams at the parliamentary village in Pelican Park on Tuesday afternoon, 5 May 2026.
This came after the SAPS Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) had earlier on Tuesday made an appeal for Adams to hand himself over at the nearest police station. According to the police the matter relates to a case of fraud and defeating and or obstructing the course of justice.
The police said it was in possession of a J50 warrant of arrest for Adams.
“The warrant relates to serious allegations that he interfered with ongoing investigations into the murder of the ANC Youth League Leader, Mr Sindiso Magaqa.
“The task team discovered that Mr Adams interfered with the now convicted and sentenced hitman at a very sensitive and advanced stage of the police’s investigation.
“Police have gone through extensive efforts to locate Mr Adams, including visiting multiple addresses associated with him. Arrangements were made with his attorney to hand himself over on Monday, 4 May 2026, at the Cape Town Central Police Station, but as of now, he has not cooperated.
“Mr Adams was scheduled to appear before a KwaZulu-Natal court on Monday, but failed to do so,” read a police statement.
Adams had repeatedly before stated that he won’t be intimidated by the police.
Fadiel Adams in arres oor bedrog
Bruin leier agter tralies
MISDAADTONEEL: Pelican Park, Kaapstad: Die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens (SAPD) het Dinsdagmiddag 5 Mei 2026 die leier van die National Coloured Congress (NCC) en Parlementslid, Fadiel Adams, by die parlementêre behuisingskompleks in Pelican Park gearresteer.
Dit volg nadat die SAPD politieke moorde-taakspan (PKTT) vroeër Dinsdag ‘n beroep op Adams gedoen het om homself by die naaste polisiestasie oor te gee. Volgens die polisie hou die saak verband met ‘n saak van bedrog en die verydeling en/of belemmering van die regsproses.
Die polisie het gesê hulle is in besit is van ‘n J50-lasbrief vir Adams se arrestasie.
“Die lasbrief hou verband met ernstige bewerings dat hy ingemeng het met die huidige ondersoeke na die moord op die ANC-jeugligaleier, mnr. Sindiso Magaqa.
“Die taakspan het ontdek dat mnr. Adams ingemeng het met die nou veroordeelde en gevonnisde huurmoordenaar in ‘n baie sensitiewe en gevorderde stadium van die polisie se ondersoek.
“Die polisie het verskeie pogings aangewend om mnr. Adams op te spoor, insluitend die besoek van verskeie adresse wat met hom verband hou. Reëlings is met sy prokureur getref om himself Maandag 4 Mei 2026 by die Kaapstad-Sentraal-polisiestasie oor te gee, maar tot dusver het hy nie saamgewerk nie.
“Mnr. Adams moes Maandag voor ‘n hof in KwaZulu-Natal verskyn, maar het versuim om dit te doen,” lui ‘n polisieverklaring.
