The Madlanga Commission has postponed the scheduled testimony of North West businessman Suliman Carrim to 29 April after he was admitted to hospital, with Commission chairperson Mbuyiseli Madlanga granting the application to stand him down.
Carrim had been expected to continue his evidence before the inquiry on Thursday, but the schedule for the week changed after the commission was informed that he remained in hospital following a medical emergency earlier this week.

On Thursday, evidence leader Mahlape Sello told the commission that chief evidence leader, Matthew Chaskalson, had been in contact with Carrim’s legal team.
“Mr Chaskalson advised that Mr Carrim is still in hospital. Chaskalson has been in communication with Carrim’s legal representatives and as things stand, Chaskalson wants to stand him down to the 29th of April this year,” Sello said.
