Carrim fails to appear before the Commission contrary to a ruling
Mr Carrim did not appear on 14 August 2026 despite a ruling that he must. Evidence leader Adv Baloyi SC placed on the record that there was no basis to treat him as properly excused, no satisfactory explanation for the non-appearance, and that the condition prescribed as the basis for excusing him had not been complied with. Counsel for Mr Carrim (Mr Premhid) put the contrary position that his client was cooperating and was not running away from accountability.
