Fadiel Adams
sitting Councillor
Fadiel Adams is a South African Member of Parliament who appeared in testimony before the Madlanga Commission primarily as a complainant and a lawmaker. During the proceedings, he was described as having opened criminal cases in Cape Town and Johannesburg against senior police officials, including allegations about misuse of task-team funds and nepotism. However, testimony also raised concerns about his handling of classified Crime Intelligence information, with witnesses alleging he accessed it without authorisation, used it recklessly, and took it outside Parliament into the public domain. It was further stated that Adams did not make himself available for interviews by investigators looking into his own complaints, and that his dockets were eventually closed.
