The Police’s Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) has called on National Coloured Congress leader and MP Fadiel Adams to present himself at his nearest police station in connection with a case of fraud and defeating and or obstructing the course of justice.

Police have issued a J50 warrant of arrest for Adams.

Brigadier Athlenda Mathe says the warrant relates to serious allegations that he interfered with ongoing investigations into the murder of the late ANC Youth League Leader, Sindiso Magaqa.

“Through investigations, the task team discovered that Mr Adams interfered with the now convicted and sentenced hitman at a very sensitive and advanced stage of the police’s investigation.”

Mathe says police have gone through extensive efforts to locate Adams, including visiting multiple addresses associated with him.

Adams has said that he is willing to cooperate with authorities, but has raised concerns about the legality of a police operation in which his former home in Mitchells Plain was raided over the weekend.

Adams has accused police of intimidation and unlawful conduct, claiming that no warrant was produced during the raid. He says he intends to take legal action against those involved.

Mathe says arrangements were made with his attorney to hand himself over on Monday, 4 May 2026, at the Cape Town Central Police Station, but as of now, he has not cooperated.

She says Adams was scheduled to appear before a KwaZulu-Natal court, but failed to do so.

“Despite numerous attempts by SAPS to make contact with his legal representative, Mr Adams has not made himself available to police. SAPS urges Mr Adams to cooperate with law enforcement and hand himself over at his nearest police station without delay.”
