DEMOCRATIC Alliance (DA) Mayco member for Human Settlements, Councillor Carl Pophaim, has sought legal counsel over claims made by National Coloured Congress (NCC) leader Fadiel Adams, that he was the target of a plot involving a senior DA councillor.

In a press statement released on Friday, Adams said he reported the alleged plot to police weeks ago and submitted all available evidence.

He also claimed to possess a recording of Mayco member Deidre de Vos disclosing information to him, which he played for journalists during a press conference held at Parliament on Monday.

Pophaim said the allegations posed a safety risk to himself and his colleagues.

"I am not aware of, and have not participated in, any planned threat against Mr Adams, and cannot comment on the conclusions he has drawn on his own accord.
