Carrim’s Illness Under Scrutiny | Johannesburg News

Published 1 week ago
Description

Suliman Carrim’s claims of being too sick to testify are crumbling under geo-location evidence showing he’s spent far more time outside hospitals than inside — even his wife confirmed it. With two private hearing requests denied and multiple missed appearances since April, the Madlanga Commission is now subpoenaing his medical records and CCTV footage, including clips of him at malls and social events. His lawyers want indefinite delays, dismissing the footage as irrelevant, but Chairperson Madlanga is pushing back — questioning the need for medical opinions when visual proof exists. Evidence leader Adila Hassim insists Carrim must first agree to an independent medical exam before any further postponements, noting his five prior delays have each stretched longer than the last. Things heated up when Hassim accidentally revealed Carrim has a “psychiatric diagnosis,” sparking objections from his lawyer over medical privacy. The commission now faces a critical choice: force him to testify or risk prosecution for contempt.
