Suleman Carrim at Madlanga: 'Is He Too Sick' To Testify? Phone GPS Data Raises Serious Concerns

Suleman Carrim told the Madlanga Commission he was too sick to testify. His legal team asked for an indefinite postponement — the fifth one. Then the Commission obtained his phone's geolocation data. And everything changed. This is the full breakdown of what the data showed, what the sworn accounts said, how the stories shifted every time objective evidence arrived — and what the Commission is now deciding. For five months, the Madlanga Commission has been waiting for Suleman Carrim to take the stand. Each time, a new medical letter. Each time, a new projected timeline. Eight to twelve weeks became six months. And through it all, Carrim's phone was quietly recording where he actually was. What the geolocation data revealed — a 12-hour outing on 14 July that was originally sworn as four hours, a seated meal at a restaurant, separate movements that were described as together, a North West trip that appeared in no affidavit until the Commission raised it — is at the centre of one of the most remarkable accountability battles currently unfolding in South Africa. Add to that: companies worth hundreds of millions of rand, an auditor whose name was provided to the Commission and who denied ever auditing those companies, and financial records that have been outstanding since March 2026. This is not just a story about medical incapacity. It is a story about what happens when a Commission with teeth decides it will not hold its breath indefinitely. ⚠️ Everything covered in this video reflects evidence and legal argument placed before the Madlanga Commission. These are allegations. They are contested. Innocent until proven guilty. 📌 CHAPTERS 00:00 — He Was Too Sick to Testify.
