Businessman Suliman Carrim is seeking to move his testimony before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry to a private setting, citing safety concerns for his family. This follows reports that Carrim, who claimed to be medically unfit to testify, was spotted shopping in Cape Town.
Why it matters
The case raises questions about transparency and accountability in public inquiries, particularly regarding the conduct of witnesses linked to political entities.
ANC-linked businessman Suliman Carriem wants his testimony before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry postponed, and he wants the postponement application to be heard in private to protect his family, which he says has faced threats. Earlier this week, the commission heard that while Carrim previously submitted that he was medically unfit to testify, he may have been spotted out shopping and lunching.
The article presents both the commission's evidence and the businessman's defense without taking a side.
