The South Gauteng High Court on Thursday postponed the sentencing of former Crime Intelligence boss Richard Mdluli and co-accused Mthembeni Mthunzi.
The sentencing was postponed to November 7.
The pair have been convicted on charges relating to the 1999 kidnapping and assault of Mdluli's former lover's husband.
They were found guilty of four counts of intimidation, two counts of kidnapping, two counts of common assault and two counts of assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm.
The duo had intimidated, assaulted and kidnapped Mdluli's love rival Oupa Ramogibe. Ramogibe and Tshidi Buthelezi, Mdluli's former lover, secretly married in July 1998.
A year later, Ramogibe was shot dead in a botched robbery.
No one was held responsible for his death. Mdluli was widely accused of sabotaging the case.
Murder charges against Mdluli and Mthunzi were withdrawn, but prosecutors managed to prove their case on the other charges.
They were acquitted on charges that they had intimidated Buthelezi's friend, Alice Manana, and on charges of defeating the ends of justice.
