Adams promises to deliver explosive testimony
Speaking to eNCA at the Brigitte Mabandla Justice College before he faced the commissioners, Adams claimed that he was never subpoenaed to appear but actually asked to appear.
“I emailed the Commission and said my name is being kicked around like a football for three months. I demand my opportunity to speak," he claimed.
Noting that his appearance was going to be postponed, Adams suggested that those who read his statement may have had cause for concern.
"I think certain people would have read my submissions and thought we have a problem here," he said.
When pressed on what to expect when he eventually takes the stand, Adams offered a pointed response:
"You can expect bombs… big ones. But let's do the right thing and save those for the Commission."
How did South Africans react to Adams’ statement
Social media users weighed in on Adams’ claims, responding with scepticism to it.
@IamPrologic drew a comparison, writing:
"Even Brown Mogotsi promised us bombs, but all we got was firefighters."
@thabomodiba24 agreed:
“He sounds like Brown with big bombs, bazokhala, blah-blah-blah. I hope he does not end up like Brown.”
@AfricaninCrypt1 said:
"The big bomb is that you are lying to the Commission."
@supertinozw added:
“Looks like these bombs keep getting primed, but don't seem to be fused to detonate anytime soon. We wait.”
@Ash_Gu said:
“Madlanga is not the Ad Hoc committee. He must be sure of what he will say or if it's indeed bombs or just a bag of pawpaws.”
