Madlanga Commission: Carrim's Wife Contradicts Herself on North West Trip

🔴 LIVE: The Madlanga Commission hears North West businessman Suliman Carrim's application to postpone his testimony — his fifth such request — as evidence leaders push for an independent medical examination before any further delay is granted. Carrim's legal team argues the postponement itself is unopposed, with only the date in dispute — either a fixed return date or an indefinite postponement. Evidence leaders maintain the commission should not grant further delay without Carrim first undergoing an independent medical assessment. 📌 KEY MOMENTS FROM TODAY'S HEARING: A contradiction emerges in Carrim's wife's affidavit: her first affidavit denies any travel to Mahikeng or North West, while a second affidavit later admits a trip did occur — despite her own evidence that she communicates regularly with Carrim's first wife Details emerge of a four-hour chaperoned excursion on 14 July, including a Woolworths and restaurant visit, before a medical consultation attended by both the doctor and Carrim's wife Carrim's counsel argues CCTV footage is unnecessary since his location was never disputed — only its relevance to his medical condition is contested Commissioner Madlanga presses on outstanding financial records — auditors for Carrim's companies remain unidentified months after being requested, despite the businesses reportedly handling hundreds of millions of rands Carrim's counsel signals he may consent to a voluntary medical assessment, but opposes it being unilaterally compelled Protective measures were agreed to safeguard medical and location privacy: CCTV footage and geolocation data will not be broadcast, and doctors will be referred to only as "first doctor" and "second doctor." A ruling on the postponement and the independent medical examination condition is pending. #MadlangaCommission #SulimanCarrim #SouthAfricaNews #MadlangaSickBay #PoliceCorruption #BreakingNewsSA 💬 What's your take on the affidavit contradiction?
