Three of the 11 BCM Mandela funeral fraud accused – suspended BCM ANC regional secretary Pumlani Mkolo, businesswoman Nosiphiwo Mati and Gauteng-based lawyer Zintle Nkuhlu, who successfully applied in November for their case to be separated from the rest, want charges against them withdrawn.
The trio this morning made a brief appearance in front of East London regional court magistrate Sadia Jacobs.
They asked for their case to be postponed so that they, together with their legal team, could prepare a presentation to court on why they feel prosecution against them should be halted as they believe the state has no tight case against them.
Jacobs then afforded them the chance to consult with their lawyers and prepare such presentation which will be submitted to state prosecuting advocate Diniso Ketani before they appear again in court on June 28.
