Fadiel Adams returns to a parliamentary hearing after previously telling the commission that a Parliament-issued laptop had not been working for about a year and a half. He says the malfunctioning device prevented him from responding to emails from the inquiry.

According to reports, Adams’ comments set the tone for his reappearance before Judge Madlanga. The coverage frames his return as an attempt to address the inquiry’s process and his ability to engage with communications during the period he described as affected by the laptop problem.
