@NowInSAJustice Madlanga denies Suleiman Carrim’s request to give testimony in-camera.

@MightiJamie IT CAN’T BE. Commissioner Madlanga has ruled against Suleiman Carrim’s application for an in-camera hearing. Carrim will have to appear in person at the #MadlangaCommission to face the music and to give his version. His attorney has asked for confirmed comfort breaks.

@JamesSamJones_ I see Adv. Chaskalson SC is preparing to take Evidence Leader seat, although he’s good; I would wish for Adv. Hassim SC to run with the session.

@uMaster_Sandz Ask Brown Mokgotsi about Chaskalson.

@Tlou_50 Madlanga didn’t entertain the secrecy. If you’ve got nothing to hide, testify in the open. The public deserves transparency at the Madlanga.

@ThomasMdaka_ He must occupy the hot seat and tell nothing else but the truth. Nonetheless, it was inevitable that his application was going to be rejected.

@TlotlisoM_ Did they submit a Dr.’s note in application for the comfort breaks?

@AmuFloyd What’s Carrim trying to hide? So many tactics to avoid testifying by all means.

@maetsa_kabomo Carrim is trying all sorts of tricks for him to not appear at the Commission. We welcome the Commission’s decision.

@_M0nd3 They want to try every trick in the book to make sure their client doesn’t testify. Why so many legal representatives?

@Thabiso_Queen When they were eating nicely they didn’t have rummy tummies, weak bladders, threats, and fears for their lives. I hate crooks yeses.

@Mohodi_ZA Serves him right. The advocate is so arrogant he thought he’d bully everyone there.

@misumuzi_4 Justice Madlanga refuses to entertain details pertaining to postponement application but leaving it to Adv. Chaskalson. Rafik Bhana, Kameel Premhid amongst those representing Suleiman Carrim are afforded 1h30 minutes to consult each other. Proceedings will resume exactly.

@athenkosi591 Suliman Carrim says: Brown Mogotsi and Vusimuzi ‘Cat’ Matlala played him. CiC said Brown Mogotsi is “a comrade who sits with comrades and listens to them and goes around extorting people.” So Brown played both of them or?

@KingMntungwa Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga frustrated with Suliman Carrim’s lawyer, Kameel Premhid, at the Madlanga Commission: “I take very strong exception to that attitude.” – Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga

@SABCNews MADLANGA COMMISSION | Advocate Chaskalson says yesterday Brown Mogotsi called the commission after Suliman Carrim’s testimony, saying he met with Maumela and Carrim shortly after the tender. Carrim vehemently denies this. Advocate Baloyi says businessman Suliman Carrim is withholding key information and failing to assist the commission in its fact-finding efforts.

@AdvoBarryRoux Suliman Carrim transferred R10 million to Vusimuzi Matlala, someone he supposedly had never met! We are expected to believe that a person simply wakes up & sends R10 million to a complete stranger with no business agreement, no contract, no partnership, and no prior dealings?

@Moloi_Herman1 “Counsellor, I had not done this with the intention to commit any fraud; I just got caught in a web of people,” Suliman Carrim.

@karynmaughan Matthew Chaskalson has told Suliman Carrim why his money transfers between alleged Tembisa Hospital looters Cat Matlala and Morgan Maumela met the definition of money-laundering – and asked him to explain why he shouldn’t face criminal investigation.

@Ndaba_2025 Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga frustrated with Suliman Carrim’s lawyer, Kameel Premhid, at the Madlanga Commission, India’s have a stinking attitude towards black people!

@wicks_jeff It would seem that Suliman Carrim is averse to public scrutiny. We’ll oblige him.

@AardvarkBloody Parody account. Oxford-educated, DA-nurtured Adv. Kameel Premhid is not used to representing organised crime figures. His client, Suliman Carrim, doesn’t strike me as the type of guy who enjoys being the brunt of a joke. This is no longer a performance, like Friday’s bluff and bluster, but sweating bullets.

@TheTruthPanther Controversial Businessman Suliman Carrim explains how Cat Matlala allegedly pressured him to pay R500,000 to alleged Tembisa looting kingpin Morgan Maumela after receiving R1.7 million from Matlala.

@newslivesa “Vusimuzi Cat Matlala and Brown Mogotsi played me,” Suliman Carrim tells the Madlanga Commission.
