ZAFadiel Adams, leader of the National Coloured Congress, accused City of Cape Town Mayco member for Safety and Security JP Smith of being involved in a plot to have him murdered. Adams first raised these allegations in July and reiterated them during the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. He recently announced via a now-removed Facebook Live broadcast that he would pursue legal action against Smith, calling him a 'coke-snorting bastard' and vowing to seek a nolle prosequi certificate related to an alleged attempted murder. Smith denied the claims, stating that a Facebook Live broadcast cannot serve as evidence and emphasized that any legal action must rely on admissible evidence rather than social media posts. Smith expressed willingness to cooperate with investigations but stressed that the burden of proof lies with Adams.
