A Limpopo pig farmer and two co-accused will remain in custody after the Mankweng Magistrate’s Court postponed their case to next month.
Zachariah Johannes Olivier, Rudolph de Wet, and William Musora are charged with murder, attempted murder, defeating the objectives of justice, and possession of firearms and ammunition.
Musora, a foreign national, faces additional charges for violating parts of the illegal immigration act.
According to National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi, the State applied for a stated case for appeal under section 310(1) of Act 51 of 1977.
The State was ordered by the magistrate to provide Olivier with a copy of his police statement upon arrest.
“The State received reasons for judgment on September 2, however, the reasons do not set forth the question of law,” Malabi-Dzhangi said.
“The Director of Public Prosecutions has issued a certificate indicating that the bail application hearing be held in the Regional Court of Polokwane. The matter is postponed to October 2. The accused persons are remanded in custody.”
