A Muslim member of the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) who refused to remove her headscarf, is expected to face a disciplinary hearing on August 7, her lawyer said.
"At that disciplinary hearing, she will be allowed to bring legal counsel," Nazeema Mohamed told News24.
Mohamed said the major appeared before a military court on Tuesday morning and that the matter was postponed.
The major has been a member of the armed forces for the past 10 years and works as a clinical forensic pathologist at 2 Military Hospital in Wynberg.
