SAPS CALLS ON MR FADIEL ADAMS TO HAND HIMSELF OVER TO POLICE
Pretoria, 05 May 2026; The South African Police Service (SAPS) Political Killings Task Team (PKTT) is calling on Mr 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.
SAPS is in possession of a J50 warrant of arrest for Mr Adams. The warrant relates to serious allegations that he interfered with ongoing investigations into the murder of the late ANC Youth League Leader, Mr 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.
Police have gone through extensive efforts to locate Mr Adams, including visiting multiple addresses associated with him. Arrangements were made with his attorney to hand himself over on Monday, 04 May 2026, at the Cape Town Central Police Station, but as of now, he has not cooperated.
Mr Adams was scheduled to appear before a KwaZulu-Natal court on Monday 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.
