Death threats against Sulliman Carrim raised at Madlanga Commission

North West businessman Sulliman Carrim’s lawyer, Advocate Kameel Premhid, has told the Madlanga Commission that his client has received death threats even before testifying.
The Commission is hearing an application for Carrim’s evidence to be heard in-camera.
Carrim previously approached the High Court to interdict his appearance on the basis that he is an “implicated person” until the commission complies with what he describes as “the principle of natural justice to protect the right afforded to him”.
The application was refused, thus compelling him to give testimony at the Inquiry.
Advocate Premhid insists that the commission’s live proceedings will endanger his client’s life.
“One of the arguments that is made in the in-camera is that my client started receiving death threats and that those death threats emanated even before he gave his actual evidence at the Commission itself. And the fact now that this has already happened on live television, with all due respect, does undermine the very purpose of the in-camera, which was to protect that disclosure when he comes back to the Commission to give his evidence in chief, if I can call it that.”
