## Resource

Businessman Suliman Carriem is fighting to have his testimony postponed and heard in private, citing threats to his family and concerns over privacy after reports surfaced that he was seen shopping and dining out — contradicting his claim of being medically unfit. His legal team argues public disclosure could harm his health, religious standing, children’s safety, and even his wife’s business. The Madlanga Commission, which previously denied his request for a private hearing, is now set to decide this Thursday whether to grant it — a move that could reshape how sensitive witness testimony is handled in high-profile inquiries.
