Suliman Carrim’s bail bid postponed
North West businessman Suliman Carrim will remain behind bars until next Wednesday
Suliman Carrim, a North West businessman, is set to remain in custody until next Wednesday following the postponement of his bail application. The State opposed his release, citing concerns over Carrim's alleged attempts to flee the country and his non-appearance before the Madlanga Commission. Carrim was arrested last Thursday and charged with contempt of the commission.
The prosecution urged the court to deny bail and keep him in jail until the proceedings are concluded. "The state submits, with the greatest respect, that there is a clear possibility that the applicant will avoid trial and will also commit a schedule 1 offence, as outlined in the state's submission," stated the prosecution. Carrim's case has been further complicated by a video that sheds light on the situation.
