UCT student activist's trial delayed as State asks for more time
18 January 2017
Cape Town – UCT political science student and activist Masixole Mlandu will have to wait another month for clarification on his intimidation case in the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court.
The State revealed on Wednesday that it needed more time to complete its investigation. It had apparently hit a snag with video footage, and needed assistance with facial recognition.
The defence objected to the request for a postponement, saying investigators had had more than enough time to resolve the issue.
Mlandu, dressed in an ethnic print shirt and maroon pants, seemed relaxed in the dock.
