The court granted a three-week break in August to ensure a fair trial, despite objections from Matlala’s legal team who claimed they were blindsided by the delay request. Judge Cassim Moosa sided with the court’s duty to protect fairness, ruling no one would be prejudiced by the pause. The trial will resume after the break, stretching from July 20 to September 18, with careful scheduling to uphold justice.
