The Madlanga Commission deliberates on a fifth postponement request submitted by North West businessman Suliman Carrim. According to the report, the commission reserves judgment rather than granting the request at this stage, while continuing to consider the matter in the context of an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption and criminality involving South Africa’s justice system.

The latest procedural motion comes as the commission continues its work related to allegations affecting the functioning of the justice system. Carrim has sought an open-ended delay to enable him to testify, and the commission is reviewing whether postponement is warranted. The report notes that deliberations are ongoing and that a decision has not yet been issued.

No additional outcome, timeline, or specific reasons for granting or refusing the postponement are provided in the available summary. The focus remains on whether Carrim is required to testify and under what scheduling conditions, as the commission continues to examine related allegations.
