JOHANNESBURG — A warrant of arrest has been issued for Fadiel Adams, a prominent figure within South Africa’s National Coloured Congress (NCC), following accusations of fraud and defeating the ends of justice. Adams is suspected of interfering with the investigation into the murder of former ANC Youth League leader Sindiso Magaqa.
On May 5th, 2026, the South African Police Service (SAPS) has called for Adams to surrender himself to the nearest police station.
The warrant, now in the possession of the SAPS, is based on claims that Adams disrupted the investigation at a crucial juncture, involving a convicted hitman. Adams, who is also a member of Parliament, has previously accused the Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) of conducting an unauthorized and excessive-force house raid at his former residence in Mitchell’s Plain. Despite his assertions that the SAPS and the PKTT are corrupt, the SAPS stands by the warrant, linking it directly to Adams’alleged interference in the Magaqa investigation.
The SAPS has made numerous attempts to locate Adams, including contacting his legal team, but he has yet to comply with their request.
The NCC has expressed concern over the situation, emphasizing the need for a thorough investigation into the allegations against Adams.
The case has highlighted tensions between the SAPS and the community, an issue that has gained prominence in recent years. It has also sparked a national discussion regarding police conduct, the justice system, and the rights of individuals amidst high-profile investigations.
