LIVE | Carrim lodges formal application for postponement

PRETORIA - North West businessman Suleiman Carrim returns to the Madlanga Commission on Tuesday.

On Monday, the Commission uncovered a network of transactions amounting to millions of rands.

The transactions were between Carrim, alleged criminal kingpin Vusimuzi 'Cat' Matlala and alleged Tembisa Hospital tender beneficiary Hangwani Maumela.

Chief evidence leader Mathew Chaskalson says the evidence may call for money laundering charges.

Carrim denies receiving kickbacks from an irregular SAPS tender scored by Matlala. He says he paid R10 million as an investment into Matlala’s company Medicare24.

He says Matlala delayed paying him back, and later paid only R1.75 million in return to his company Tameez.

Carrim adds that Matlala used him and asked that he advance R750,000 to Maumela. He says he paid R500,000 to Maumela who instructed him to make the payment to Luthaga Trading Enterprise.

Carrim believes he was used and manipulated by associates including Brown Mogotsi, whom he thought was a close friend.

He denies any wrongdoing, saying Matlala made him pay people like Maumela.
