A series of technical difficulties saw the drawn-out culpable homicide trial of former Lukhanji mayor Nozibele Makanda again being postponed in the Cathcart Magistrate’s Court yesterday, this time to early next year.
The trial was set down for two days – yesterday and today – but when the stenographer’s recording equipment malfunctioned, the earliest new date the magistrate could find was February 6.
The former mayor was involved in a car accident that claimed the life of a young engineering student, Charl Schoeman, outside Cathcart in November 2015.
At the time of the accident, Makanda was travelling to Queenstown.
