Member of Parliament and National Coloured Congress leader Fadiel Adams:
– I offered to comply three weeks ago in an email to KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner, Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, now suspended national commissioner General Fannie Masemola and Police Minister Firoze Cachalia.
– I said to them please do not send masked armed gunmen to my house. I don’t want my children traumatised. I also don’t want the expense incurred on the SAPS on the state on the taxpayer, I hand myself over.
– What did they do? They sent masked gunmen to what they thought was my house to abuse and traumatise my family and abuse and traumatise an innocent family.
– We have since taken the matter where it belongs. We are before the Western Cape High Court.
– The judge has ordered the South African Police Services to present the information that they’ve hidden from us so that he can make a determination.
– Why now, when the South African Police Services find themselves before the court, do they put out a statement?
– Why did they not put out a statement before? Why did they not respond to my email? Why did they try to hunt me down like a bank robber?
– We will see the Police Services in court tomorrow [Wednesday] morning.
– The judge will make a determination on the lawfulness of this warrant and the lawfulness of their action and the role of [Crime Intelligence head] Dumisani Khumalo in all of this.
– I ask the South African public to understand that Dumasani Kumalo, the head of the PKTT, is in court on fraud charges that I laid.
– This is nothing more than an attempt to intimidate and discredit me, and it will be proven in court.
