National police spokesperson Brigadier Athlenda Mathe confirmed possession of a J50 warrant of arrest for a politician and founder of the National Coloured Congress.

“The warrant relates to serious allegations that he interfered with ongoing investigations into the murder of the late ANC Youth League leader, Sindiso Magaqa,” she added.

According to Mathe, through investigations, the task team discovered that Adams interfered with the now-convicted and sentenced hitman at a very sensitive and advanced stage of the police’s investigation.

“Arrangements were made with his attorney to hand himself over on Monday at the Cape Town Central Police Station, but as of now, he has not cooperated.
