Overview
- Proceedings resumed on Friday for North West businessman Suliman Carrim’s postponement application after he missed scheduled appearances following an alleged heart attack in April.
- Carrim’s lawyer told the commission the treating doctor described his condition as dynamic and asked for an indefinite postponement with sworn health-status updates every two weeks.
- The commission has barred disclosure of Carrim’s medical details and the identity of his health providers and has prohibited sharing family addresses during the open hearing.
- Evidence leaders presented geolocation and CCTV material that they say shows Carrim leaving a medical facility frequently, a point his lawyer challenged while offering to consider an independent medical exam.
- Carrim is connected to allegations over the multi‑million rand Medicare 24 Tshwane District Police Service tender and repeated postponements have raised the prospect of a referral for prosecution if he does not appear.
