## Resource

Fadiel Adams, leader of the National Coloured Congress, is set to testify before the Madlanga commission on August 11th, responding to criminal allegations tied to complaints he filed — a move triggered by a Rule 3 notice from last October. His referral sparked a major probe into the police’s Crime Intelligence division, dubbed “Project Diversion,” which has now drawn in suspended commissioner Fannie Masemola and the political killings task team. The investigation uncovered troubling links to secret service funds, questionable appointments, and even a stolen laptop. Adams, arrested in May 2026 on charges of fraud and obstructing justice — allegedly for interfering in a 2017 murder probe — was granted R10,000 bail and released. His case has ignited fierce debate over transparency, accountability, and the integrity of South Africa’s anti-corruption machinery.
