Madlanga Commission is considering referring businessman Suliman Carrim for criminal prosecution over his refusal to undergo an independent medical assessment. The decision comes after a heated exchange between commission chair Justice Mbuyiseli Madlanga and Carrim’s lawyer, Kameel Premhid.

Madlanga reportedly told Premhid that the commission is inclined to pursue legal action against Carrim. The dispute centers on Carrim’s failure to comply with a medical evaluation requested by the commission. The lawyer argued against the move, but Madlanga emphasized the commission’s stance.

The case highlights tensions between the commission and business figures under investigation. Carrim has not publicly commented on the matter. The potential legal action could set a precedent for accountability in corporate dealings.

The commission’s next steps remain unclear, but the situation underscores ongoing scrutiny of business practices in the region.
