🚨 Suleiman Carrim’s Bail Ruling Faces Possible Delay
Businessman and politician Suleiman Carrim may have to wait longer to learn whether the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court will grant him bail.
The court was expected to deliver its ruling on Wednesday, but proceedings took an unexpected turn when the prosecutor requested permission to introduce new evidence.
The development could delay the decision on Carrim’s bail application as the court considers the latest submission.
Meanwhile, Carrim is also facing a separate vehicle theft case in Musina, Limpopo.

It makes sense for the DA to have a campaign to "Stop the EFF" as the two parties stand for two contrasting agendas but Herman Mashaba embarking on a stop Helen Zille campaign is something else. It might even bolster Gogo's campaign. ActionSA supporters please enlighten us
The DA has taken political advertising in South Africa to a whole new level ahead of the local poll.I've been hearing DA adds every half an hour for no less than 2 months on all radio stations.The messaging too has been strong, sell its governance story while attacking the ANC.
Just like the ANC, the EFF has a convincing advert out but sadly also is not heard enough as it plays fewer times on few radio stations.
