MP ADAMS' COMMISSION TESTIMONY ON ICT SUPPORT PROVIDED BY PARLIAMENT
Parliament, Tuesday, 11 August 2026 - Parliament has noted statements made by National Coloured Congress Member of Parliament Mr Fadiel Adams during his appearance before the Madlanga Commission this morning, in which he attributed delays in accessing correspondence from the Commission to persistent problems with his Parliament-issued laptop.
Mr Adams indicated, among other things, that his laptop had been problematic for approximately 18 months, was frequently either frozen or in for repairs, and that this had affected his ability to access information.
Ordinarily, Parliament would not comment on explanations offered by a Member in proceedings before a commission of inquiry. However, insofar as these claims create the impression that Parliament failed over an extended period to provide a Member with functional tools of trade necessary for the performance of his constitutional responsibilities, the institutional record requires clarification.
Following Mr Adams' remarks, Parliament reviewed the ICT Service Desk records relating to technical support logged for him during the relevant period.
The records do not reflect any reported incident of persistent laptop malfunction, hardware failure, repeated freezing of the device, or the laptop being repeatedly submitted to ICT for repairs.
The ICT incidents recorded during this period relate primarily to routine user-access and account-support matters. These include a Windows password reset in January 2025, an ERP/Marang password reset in June 2025, assistance with logging into a device in July 2025, a Wi-Fi update in January 2026, and an ERP/Marang eDisclosure-related request in June 2026. These matters were recorded through Parliament's ICT Service Desk and were closed.
Password resets, authentication or login difficulties and connectivity configuration are routine ICT support matters and are materially different from a device being technically dysfunctional or unavailable for an extended period.
Parliament therefore has no ICT Service Desk record supporting the assertion that Mr Adams' parliamentary laptop was persistently dysfunctional for approximately 18 months in the manner described before the Commission.
It is also important to clarify that Parliament's provision of tools of trade to Members is not limited to a single laptop. Members are provided with multiple ICT devices, including a laptop, tablet and smart phone, precisely to support continuity of access and enable Members to perform their parliamentary responsibilities.
Where a Member experiences a technical problem with an allocated device, established ICT support channels are available for the incident to be logged, diagnosed and resolved. Alternative Parliament-issued devices also provide continuity of access while a particular device is being attended to.
Parliament's clarification is confined to its own ICT and administrative records and should not be construed as commenting on the substance of Mr Adams' evidence before the Commission, which remains a matter for the Commission.

Feroz Khan clearance could not be done because there was issues relating to a safe house “which was allegedly owned by him” and that’s the reason why Andrea Johnson was investigating General Khumalo because they bought safe houses and Khans properties will not be used anymore .Please watch the video where they discuss handlers .
#MadlangaCommission
On this day in 2010, I was arrested, humiliated and treated like a hoodlum on trumped charges for standing for the truth and exposing corruption.
People think what IDAC is doing to General Dumisani Khumalo and others started today, some of our law enforcement agencies have been used and manipulated to intimidate those who are a thorn to their friends and political connections instead of solving crime. #MadlangaCommission✊🏿
Time to bring back Paul O’Sullivan and ask him why he lied about Dineo Mokwele seeing as how you are the platform that gave him the most airtime. @BizNewsCOM
SACR has received a formal response from Small Enterprise Development and Finance Agency (SEDFA) regarding our PAIA request for records relating to the Spaza Shop Support Fund.
The countdown to transparency begins.

Dear @Sinawo_Thambo you are a young smart Man, you can’t sacrifice your soul to please a Man, who built a name for himself. This has gotten embarrassing. Have honour mate 😂😂😂.
You can become something big, without being under his arms.
Why is SACR taking the @ParliamentofRSA to court?
Because South Africans were asked to make submissions on constitutional amendments and now those voices are being ignored.
This legal challenge is about accountability, constitutional compliance, and protecting meaningful public participation.

Everyone is apparently wrong, the politicians, right?
1. General Ntshavheni raised concerns about the state of the country’s borders and the impact this has on vulnerable South Africans.
Terrifying revelation. Prominent Prof. Jiang exposes Washington's sinister AI agenda. He confirms the US and China are secretly partnering to build a massive global surveillance state, using the Chinese population as a testing lab.
The establishment destroys all privacy.
EFF members are now obliged to start deleting all the horrible things they said about Fadiel Adams, because their says they must have selective outrage and exempt him from being treated or regarded as a criminal 😭😭🤣🤣.
Businessman Suliman Carrim will not appear before the Madlanga Commission this week. He has submitted a doctor’s note stating that he remains confined to bed.
Carrim was hospitalised recently after collapsing at a gym in Houghton, JHB.
He was discharged from hospital a few days later.
I respect and honour my goat Chris Excel.
I would be honest with him, he didn’t handle the fundraiser with pride and dignity, the next one he is gonna launch is gonna be questionable.
He allowed EFF cult members, who didn’t even donate a single cent to decide the outcomes of it. Being a leader means, sometimes you need to make decisions that will infuriate others.
Patriots donated to Jacinta over the amazing work she is doing, she out herself on the line for our Country. Why would we crucify her over tweets that can be deleted and apologise afterwards?
There is no "decision" to be taken here about the money.
Our campaign was crystal clear from the start: 2 cows for Jacinta. That was the promise.
That was the goal people donated to. That is the will of the people who gave their hard-earned money.
Not EFF cult telling us what to do..
