Dear Portfolio Committee on Police, specifically Mr Fadiel Adams.

Dear Mr. Adams,

I am writing to you with anger, grief, and urgency — as a constituent who is forced to live in the warzone that the Cape Flats has become. Every week, we bury more children. Every day, families live in terror. Today's headlines read TRAPPED BY FEAR - residents of MANENBERG speaking of fear leaving their homes --- And still, SAPS fails us — while those in positions of oversight, like yourself, remain silent or ineffective.

You sit on the Portfolio Committee on Police That is not a ceremonial title — it is a position of power and responsibility. And so I will ask you without sugar-coating:

What have YOU personally done in that committee to fight for us the Coloured people you claim you represent in parliament ?

How many times have YOU confronted SAPS leadership over their utter failure to protect our communities?

What concrete results — not empty promises, not talk, not stating your political party organised A protest march on social media , but real outcomes — can you point to from YOUR role?


Because right now, the truth is undeniable: OUR COLOURED people are DYING every day , while politicians like you only seem to talk.
The Portfolio Committee on Police seems to have become toothless, and unless its members start demanding real accountability, you are complicit in its failure, complicit of our deaths on the Cape Flats.

We do not need more speeches. We do not need more sympathy. We do not need more social media lives . We need action — and we need it NOW not when you secure enough votes to run Western Cape . If you cannot force SAPS to act, if you cannot use your position to fight for the Cape Flats, then I must ask: why are you even there?

Our blood is on the streets. Our children are in the graves. And unless you start showing the courage and urgency this crisis demands, your silence will be counted among the reasons why.

So I ask you again, Mr. Adams — not as a politician, but as a man: Where do you stand in this fight?
