On 20 August 2026, veteran broadcaster Sizwe Dhlomo publicly challenged National Coloured Congress founder Fadiel Adams on X following the latter's problematic testimony before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry a day prior, questioning, "What's wrong with Fadiel Adams?" Dhlomo's sharp critique underscored a growing concern about Adams' credibility and conduct.

During his appearance, Adams struggled to explain why he had failed to respond to the Commission within the required timeframe, attributing the delay to laptop problems. He was also confronted about inflammatory statements he had made on social media, to which he offered a rather candid defence.
"Forget what I say on social media; that's me acting like a fool half the time."

Adams also drew criticism during the proceedings when he repeatedly referred to Chairperson Mbuyiseli Madlanga as "Chief."
Perhaps the most damaging moment of the entire session came when Adams admitted to misleading the Commission about when he actually received his official notice to testify. The concession drew significant attention and added fuel to the controversy surrounding his appearance.

"At first I would blame people who voted for him, but then, thinking of how the government has failed us and how the Coloured community feel they have been failed, I wouldn't blame them for voting for whoever they hoped would assist them deal with their issues, even if it meant voting for Adams."

"Makes you realise how much of a sham the ad hoc committee was. To think members of the ad hoc committee are the same people we trust to lead us to the promised land is beyond comprehension."

"He continues with a lie even after he's been exposed and admitted it's a lie. Yoh, he angers me. Now I understand why you said the commissioners have time."
