Businessman Suliman Carrim has been put on notice by the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry, which warned that his continued delay in giving evidence could result in a recommendation for prosecution.
A medical claim, repeated delays and a looming prosecution warning have placed businessman Suliman Carrim at the centre of a new showdown at the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry.
Carrim's appearance before the commission has now been postponed for a third time after he claimed to be medically unfit to testify following an alleged heart attack in April.
The commission has granted his request to delay proceedings until July 15, but the latest postponement has heightened tensions over his continued absence.
The commission's chief evidence leader, Matthew Chaskalson, told proceedings that Carrim should undergo an examination by an independent medical specialist to verify his health claims before returning to the witness stand.
