  "summary": "North West businessman Suliman Carrim has been granted R100,000 bail. According to Mail and Guardian, the bail follows his arrest at OR Tambo International Airport after he failed to appear before the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry. Daily Maverick reports that Carrim was granted bail for failing to continue testifying at that commission.\n\nIOL states the bail was granted after the State failed to demonstrate that Carrim posed a danger to the community or would evade trial. The Citizen reports that Magistrate Marc Curlewis delivered the ruling on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, finding that risks identified in the case could be managed through strict conditions.\n\nDespite the bail, Carrim remains in custody on separate car-smuggling charges. Daily Maverick notes that in this case, two of his co-accused may plead guilty.",
