Overview
- Fadiel Adams filed perjury charges this week against KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi over testimony to the Madlanga Commission concerning Adams’s alleged access to classified intelligence material.
- Mkhwanazi, speaking in Durban, rejected any suggestion of intimidation and said he is not afraid to be prosecuted, challenging Adams to “bring it on.”
- On Friday, Adams lodged a separate criminal complaint accusing National Commissioner Fannie Masemola of nepotism, alleging improper hiring of relatives within SAPS.
- Adams described Mkhwanazi’s remarks as a veiled threat and said he would next week open a case over alleged extrajudicial killings of children in KwaZulu‑Natal.
- The confrontation follows reports that Mkhwanazi retracted some allegations he previously made to a parliamentary ad hoc committee involving former minister Bheki Cele and Vusimuzi “Cat” Matlala.
