North West businessman Suliman Carrim has 48 hours from Wednesday to contact the Madlanga Commission of Inquiry to arrange his next appearance, failing which he could face re-arrest.
Carrim was granted R100,000 bail by the Pretoria Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday in connection with his alleged failure to honour a subpoena to appear before the commission.
His bail conditions require him to surrender his passport, report to the police weekly and contact the commission within 48 hours to arrange a date for his appearance.
Failure to comply with the conditions could result in his arrest.
Despite being granted bail in the Pretoria case, Carrim remains in custody in connection with a separate case in Musina, Limpopo, where he faces charges relating to alleged vehicle smuggling.
He is expected to apply for bail in the Musina matter separately.
Carrim’s bail in the Pretoria case does not secure his release while the separate Musina case remains unresolved.
