Malema Sparks Outrage Comparing Fadiel Adams To STEVE Biko

Added: 2026-05-13

[00:00:00]Julius Malma addressed the EFF student command on 12th of May 2026. Declared himself a political prisoner in the same category as Mandela, Ciculu, and Tambo.

[00:00:12]Defended Fodil Adams by comparing his treatment to Steve Bo. Told followers to side with black people in any fight without asking questions first and previewed his plan to put Ramaposa under oath at an impeachment committee. Please watch till end. It's crazy. when I'm confronted with the truth about my mother body that is governing wrongly.

[00:00:37]So they say Ramaposa if if they are calling for Ramaposa to resign, Malmo must resign because he was found guilty by by a court of law. I'm not your president.

[00:00:51]>> I'm not your president.

[00:00:56]I'm not your president.

[00:00:58]You are president there at Union building.

[00:01:04]Resign what?

[00:01:06]I'm a political prisoner.

[00:01:09]>> I was arrested for the things I did in a political party.

[00:01:18]I'm a political prisoner. that they will have to open the Robin Island if they want to arrest me because I can't go.

[00:01:28]I can't go and be mixed with criminals.

[00:01:32]I'm not a criminal.

[00:01:34]I'm a political prisoner. We must tell them when they say your president was found guilty to say he's a political prisoner. He's not a criminal.

[00:02:01]I performed a political act in a political gathering and therefore they want to arrest me for the political work I've done. I'm arrested for politics. If you doubt, you must ask the question, who's behind the case? Then you'll get the answer. The answer will say it's Afri forum.

[00:02:23]Therefore, it's political. Why is Afrey Forum wanting me behind bars? It is those who own the means of production who don't want to see me speaking the truth. No one loves the truth. People love lies. The more you lie, the more they love you. So they hate me because I tell the truth no matter what.

[00:02:52]I tell truth even if it's going to cost me votes. It is still the truth.

[00:02:58]Let's take Adams for instance. I never said Adams is a Steve Bagle. I said the treatment they're giving to him is similar to the one that was given to Steve Beagle who was put behind a van driven from Eastern Cape to here John Foster police station and got killed here. So I was saying to them, you are making a hero out of nothing because once you put a person behind the baggie and you drive with him for 32 hours, you are going to bring sympathy to that person and as a result you are going to make that person a hero unwittingly.

[00:03:43]That's what I told Ramapos. I said you have to find it in you to uh help Zuma so that he doesn't get arrested because if he get arrested Zuma is a hero in his own right doesn't need us but if you arrest that hero you are going to make him a mataya you are going to get him a a lot of sympathy.

[00:04:17]There must be a way these matters can be resolved.

[00:04:21]He didn't listen.

[00:04:23]Look at where Zuma is now.

[00:04:27]because they've been victimizing him and through that victimhood people became sympathetic to him and then they arrested him illegally because arrest an arresting court must have an appeal.

[00:04:49]When you are arrested by conal court there is no appeal.

[00:04:54]Zuma's right to appeal. Every arrested person has got a right to appeal. Zuma's right to appeal was taken away from him.

[00:05:07]It is right. You must stand with the truth and you must stand with the weak.

[00:05:14]So if you find a white person fighting with a black person, you join a black person. You'll isolate when you find when you find a woman fighting with a man, you join the woman. Why? Because you are always on the side of the weak.

[00:05:38]You must never be on the side of the powerful. When America is fighting with Iran, you don't know what they are fighting about. You are with Iran.

[00:05:50]because you know that America is the powerful.

[00:05:56]So fighters you must always stand for the truth.

[00:06:01]But the day you are prepared to stand for the truth that's a day you must also be prepared to be hated. You will not be loved by everyone.

[00:06:13]You are not money.

[00:06:14]>> So you must know no not everybody will love you. Nobody. Not everybody will disagree with you. Not everybody will agree with you.

[00:06:24]They are not fighting me. They are fighting my brain. They don't want to imprison me. They want to imprison my brain. They don't want to kill me. They want to kill my brain. Because if this mouth is shut, black people will learn how to keep quiet. They are using me to silence you. They are using my name to make sure that you don't emerge in the struggles of the students. They are using my name to make sure that you are silent forever. I will never KEEP QUIET.

[00:06:59]TELL THEM even when they kill me, they will NEVER KILL MY IDEAS. They will NEVER SILENCE ME. They will never imprison me. My life is in the hands of economic freedom in our lifetime.

[00:07:14]>> Let's pause right there. Do you see the slight of hand happening here? On one side, we have a politician on a public stage using extreme rhetoric designed to keep the public outraged and divided.

[00:07:26]The goal is to keep you arguing, but more importantly to keep you completely distracted. Because while the headlines are focused on loud speeches and political drama, a massive institutional failure is quietly taking place right under our noses.

[00:07:42]>> And you'll see also as you scroll down that this media article has the actual uh messages that were shared that were obtained by internal hawks investigators.

[00:08:00]Um it has evidence from the cell phone uh analyst and it concludes it it well it opines that the emergence of this evidence is likely to prove crucial to Khan's survival in the disciplinary round and then it continues to talk about uh Khan's uh troubles and it's actually a very proh article.

[00:08:29]It's a very favorable article and all of this evidence that it leaks essentially comes from an internal report that I think you're familiar with.

[00:08:43]Can you confirm whether you know about these um WhatsApp messages and the evidence regarding coup and the Durban businessman? not not this specific uh I cannot recall the specific uh uh WhatsApp uh messages that was that's published here and uh I do not know where where would they have gotten this I know there was an analyst done analysis done sorry by our uh PCMC the provincial crime management center which also forms part of the the DPCI uh but to to to where this comes from.

[00:09:24]And I I I haven't seen I haven't seen this this prior to to today.

[00:09:29]>> Have you not seen a presentation that uh provides an analysis of the evidence?

[00:09:36]>> Not in this not of this specific, but I have seen I've seen part of a presentation by the PCMC. Yes.

[00:09:44]>> Um is it similar similar evidence to what is reported in the >> similar? Yes. So how how would information I mean I would think that that's quite sensitive confidential information that >> how how would that be leaked to the media?

[00:09:58]>> I do not have an answer commissioners. I I would not know. I'm actually it's actually sad to see to see something like this.

[00:10:09]>> Um what is the risk of it this kind of leak to an investigation? The risk of it is is is is plain and simple to the fact that at the end of the day, if these type of things are published, it makes it easier for the criminals to see what we're looking at and how we doing our investigations and that would help further and and future investigations into this type of syndicate.

[00:10:37]>> Um, thank you, Colonel. And then I said I would come back to the report. Sorry.

[00:10:42]You're going to continue. Please go ahead.

[00:10:44]>> Sorry. If if you would allow me just to take you to to page 109 of that same uh the the first page of that um uh article.

[00:10:59]Uh you will see that photograph of the black baky with the black bags on top of it. Also in front of it that is not captured in warrant officer Wood's uh sketch of the scene. You would see a marked police vehicle parked right in front of it. To the left of the police vehicle is that red kia that is that is in her statement in her drawing. But the police vehicle by then has been removed.

[00:11:32]So uh I just wanted to highlight that that I just saw now.

[00:11:37]>> Yes. Thank you for for um thank you for bringing this to our attention because uh Wood's sketch was only done at a particular point in the day because and was much later in the day.

[00:11:51]>> Yeah. Here the sun is still shining.

[00:11:53]>> Here the sun is still shining. Exactly.

[00:11:55]>> Indeed correct commissioner.

[00:11:57]>> So this open back uh baky is this the black baki that is referred to >> that would be correct commissioner. So Mashaba and them would have transported the drugs open in this way if if they had had their way.

[00:12:13]>> That looks like that commissioner. Yes ma'am.

[00:12:16]>> Okay. And without protection.

[00:12:19]>> I cannot answer to that ma'am.

[00:12:21]>> Yes.

[00:12:22]>> I do not know what their plans were at that stage.

[00:12:25]>> Thank you. And just remind us the police van is the one that prevented the black Nissan Bucky from leaving the warehouse.

[00:12:37]>> This is what I found when I came on the scene and I asked what's going on here and it was explained to me that uh that black baky apparently wanted to leave so it was blocked in by a a boy's police van.

[00:12:50]>> Yes.

[00:12:51]>> Yes. Commissioner >> going back to to the FSL the the the drugs that are now that cannot be accounted for the one I think it's 136 kilogram that cannot be accounted for >> the do you know if FSL has conducted its own investigation of what happened because this was in their custody >> uh I'm not sure I think Brigadier Allen can attest to that commissioner I will not be able able to comment on that.

[00:13:23]>> And you haven't seen any FSL records that account for who handled these these drugs at different stages until the the the amount of 751 has reduced to the 579.

[00:13:39]You haven't seen any records of that?

[00:13:41]>> The only records I could see was the 212 statements by the analyst >> of people handling the handling the drugs commissioner. Apart from the 212 statements where the people's names appear that did the analysis, I I'm not able to to give any other names.

[00:13:57]>> Okay. Thank you.

[00:13:58]>> Thank you.

[00:14:04]Uh so Colonel um Major General Kerba's report uh right at the towards the end of the report uh where he makes some findings if we can just turn to page 106 >> CJ um CJC216 CJC 216 and specifically page 106.

[00:14:42]>> I'm there commissioners.

[00:14:43]>> Thank you. So um he says he doesn't find evidence against the four.

[00:14:51]Um but then he says the following. He says, and it's sort of like the second paragraph just before the bullet points, there were fundamental administrative errors made by the investigators in assigned to the team.

[00:15:08]And I highlight these although they have no bearing on the iPad recommendations.

[00:15:15]And then he lists them and he lists them uh as follows. errors in relation to serial numbers on the evidence bag.

[00:15:27]Statements uh statement of Captain Noria and warrant officer Morris who performed the seizure together differs but was rectified and found to be an administrative error. The number of evidence collected statements indicate 700 whereas FSL received 715. Several witness statements also confirmed 715.

[00:15:48]the one brick of cocaine recovered by LCRC and handed over to DPCI indicating members did not fully explore and receive all exhibits a human error given the circumstances.

[00:16:03]Next, premature arrest of police officials or be it justified based on circumstances at the crime scene. If allowed time to investigate, a different outcome may have been achieved.

[00:16:16]lack of followup on alibis, thus allowing the defense to obtain statements and providing such in their representations to DPP.

[00:16:26]Statements from commanders but initially indicated telephonically they were not aware of what their members were doing but later changed their version should have been obtained immediately.

[00:16:39]And this is at least for me the most important thing about all of that is the next sentence is the above will have serious implications on any future representations made by the DPCI DPCI to have the Boyison's case placed back on the role.

[00:16:59]So the effect of it is not a no successful prosecution will come from this. Yes.

[00:17:06]>> Can you can you can you comment on that and the shortcomings that Major General Kala identified?

[00:17:16]>> Um I'm not sure when when he refers to errors relating in uh to serial numbers on evidence bags. I'm not sure what what he actually means by that. Uh statement from Noria and Morris.

[00:17:34]um that error or the the the the the differences between their statements uh must have been rectified in my time of absence.

[00:17:47]uh the the 700 and the difference between the 700 and 715 uh there if you have a look at my original statement my handwritten statement I did not mention any any uh uh specific count of the blocks there I only mentioned it in later statements and um I might have based my statement on the on the 212 statement from FSL Uh but as I said on the on the outset uh my statement is to the best of my recollection.

[00:18:23]The one brick that that uh was discovered uh like I said must have been the lighting and and it was human error.

[00:18:32]We're dealing with humans although we we expected to not make this type of mistake. Uh we're dealing with human beings.

[00:18:42]uh in terms of the premature arrest um that is a 50/50 issue in my opinion.

[00:18:53]In hindsight, uh I would agree with him that we we should have just continued with the investigation uh and the then indeed there might have been a different outcome. But that is in hindsight. You know, sometimes we we need to make decisions on a crime scene within minutes uh or in very short space of time and uh then unfort fortunately or unfortunately we then have to live with our decisions that that we had to make in a very short space of time. Uh the lack of follow-ups on the on the alibis.

[00:19:31]Um yeah, I I think for the most part we the investigation team did what they could uh in in terms of following up uh on on the alibis uh the statement from the commanders uh I was aware of a situation where certain of the commanders of the members that were were arrested uh I'm I'm aware of the fact that those uh init initial indications telephonically uh that they were not aware of their members on the scene and later they said no no no no we were aware of the members on the scene uh in in statement form that that is worrisome definitely worrisome as well so that that's basically my comments on on on these points but yeah if you know unfortunately we don't always have a doover in life uh but I I would do certain things differently for example the the investigation before the arrest.

[00:20:33]Uh but yeah, >> um unless there are any questions from the commissioners, that's uh that's it from me.

[00:20:46]>> Can I just uh the supplementary statement, should we amend that reference to 134? It would clearly be incorrect because uh I think it's on page 12. No, no, sorry. Yeah, page 12. Paragraph 51 the supplementary.

[00:21:08]>> It's 136.

[00:21:09]>> It should be 136.46.

[00:21:14]>> Thank you, Commissioner. I think that was just a typo. Yes.

[00:21:28]I think it's uh in paragraph 51. It's the same thing.

[00:21:33]>> Yes.

[00:21:34]>> Yeah, that's where I was.

[00:21:36]>> 51 and 52.

[00:21:37]>> 51 and 52.

[00:21:55]Yes, Canel. When you when you started very early on in the day, you mentioned and I think this was in the general discussion before you got into the statement that uh to date no arrests have been made. Was it in relation to the to to the drugs themselves, the seized drugs or members of the SAPs? uh commissioner on the scene as indicated there were four people arrested in uh in the interim that uh that case has been uh removed from the role of representations and after that I'm not aware of anyone else that was arrested on this case relating to the exhibits relating to their conduct and the like.

[00:22:40]>> Okay. And disciplinary action against Mr. Mashaba and the other two members.

[00:22:47]Uh I'm aware that there was disciplinary actions. Uh I know I cannot recall which one the one was. Uh one of the officers I think it was the officer from not the national one if if the advocate can just maybe uh assist me. Was the guy driving the black baky that was >> Mane?

[00:23:10]>> Yeah, I think he was he was suspended.

[00:23:14]Okay.

[00:23:15]Uh but I I'm just talking of things that I heard commissioner I cannot testify to that fact uh as as a fact.

[00:23:24]>> And do you do you know whether any of them or all of them are still in the employee of the state >> traffic chief?

[00:23:32]I think the chief is >> okay >> and I know at least one of the SAPs members are still also employed.

[00:23:39]>> I'm not sure about the the third SAPs member the second SAPs member commissioner.

[00:23:43]>> Thank you. Thank you.

[00:23:45]>> Thank you, Commissioner.

[00:23:46]>> Thank you, Mrs. >> Can I take you back to page 109 of the exhib?

[00:24:01]>> I'm there, Commissioner.

[00:24:02]>> Yes, Connell. Just looking at that photo, I mean surely that is wrong that you can load these bags in the back of an unmarked van which is black in color before the exhibits are secured and properly sealed and properly numbered and properly counted just on its face >> and photographed.

[00:24:26]It was not photographed before this.

[00:24:28]>> They haven't even been counted or put in seal bags or anything like that.

[00:24:32]Somebody has loaded them in what is clearly a private vehicle and they are removing them from a private uh from a crime scene.

[00:24:41]>> We established that this is my humble apologies >> where you find drugs. I mean it's a crime scene.

[00:24:47]>> Absolutely.

[00:24:48]>> And that scene must be secured.

[00:24:49]>> Absolutely.

[00:24:50]>> But here they are already being removed and somebody's taking them somewhere.

[00:24:54]>> Yeah. You will also see that this is before we came to the crime scene. Look at the people standing around. The gentleman there with a with a red shirt, no, is definitely not a police officer.

[00:25:07]So this was this was before we arrived there. So it's not even cordoned off like one of the first things that the advocate highlighted was that it should be there should be at least an inner inner perimeter which wasn't done if one has a look at the photograph. So when you say that that's improper and incorrect, uh I have to totally 100% agree with you commissioner.

[00:25:30]>> I mean even assuming the arrest was premature and improper just looking at what they have done in that photo.

[00:25:37]>> Yes.

[00:25:38]>> That is contrary to all the prescript >> 100% commission. I agree with you sir.

[00:25:42]>> Okay. Thank you. Not not that it makes a difference much any difference at all to how this was handled and how inapprop improper it is. I think you wanted to make a correction. Um and I think it's something that I picked up from the statements that that van turned out to be a police van.

[00:26:03]>> That's correct. It it was a police van.

[00:26:05]Yes.

[00:26:06]>> Thank you.

[00:26:08]>> Or not a police van, but a police vehicle.

[00:26:10]>> A a police vehicle.

[00:26:12]>> Yes, Commissioner. The black vehicle.

[00:26:14]Yeah.

[00:26:14]>> What does that mean? Do you mean it is being driven by a policeman or it is registered as a subs vehicle?

[00:26:20]>> It is registered as a subs vehicle.

[00:26:23]>> But as you know, even vehicles registered as subs vehicles can be used to commit offenses.

[00:26:30]>> Absolutely. Commissioner, >> so it doesn't follow that just because it is registered as a police vehicle, it was conducting proper police business.

[00:26:38]>> Your comments comments 100% correct. But then again on the flip side you can't assume without more that they were committing a crime.

[00:26:47]>> 100% correct.

[00:26:48]>> So you must investigate all these things.

[00:26:50]>> Indeed commissioner.

[00:26:50]>> Thank you.

[00:26:53]>> And may I sorry chair you your commissioners have caused me to have a followup. Um because the issue of premature arrests and all of that is quite important here.

[00:27:07]Um there there were several people who arrived at the scene, the first responders I was referring to earlier. And um along the way um and and that's I think where warrant officer Pakula uh comes in at a certain point because he he only arrives when we were looking at the timeline. He only arrives um at the Eritton. He does he doesn't follow the truck uh with the others, right? He arrives in Eritton. And one of the findings by uh Major General Kerba was that he he didn't he he thought that uh Warrant Officer Pakula was genuinely trying to investigate the scene. um but then was subjected to the arrest and all of that and and perhaps that was the comment about the premature arrest because if if he wasn't uh complicit with the others and the black bucky and the removal of the drugs, he may have been able to do more to do some processing of the crime scene.

[00:28:16]>> Can can can I get your comment on that?

[00:28:18]I cannot really comment on on on on Pakula's role there but um yeah I I I don't know he was you know who who asked him to come to the scene and why if if he's had a national investigation entity why didn't he contact the correct people he contacted Sepungu Colonel Sepungu who is his commander who was on leave and if you again have a look at that photograph on 109. That red uh Kia there at the back would be the vehicle he came in.

[00:28:57]>> The red vehicle, >> the the red Kia vehicle that you can only see the nose of in that in that picture. So at at the end of the day, uh,
