National Coloured Congress MP Fadiel Adams will have to wait until 11 September to return to court after his case was transferred from the Pinetown Magistrate’s Court to the Regional Court.
Adams faces charges linked to his visits to two detainees at Durban’s Westville prison while their cases were before the courts. Both detainees have since been convicted. Adams was arrested in May and later released on R10,000 bail.
Speaking after Friday’s court appearance, Adams remained critical of the authorities and said he believes his upcoming testimony before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry could shed light on alleged irregularities within the KwaZulu-Natal Political Killings Task Team.
For Adams, the legal battle is more than a court case. He says it is connected to wider concerns about crime, corruption and alleged links between police and criminal networks in KwaZulu-Natal. His next court appearance on 11 September will be closely watched as he continues to defend himself against the charges.
