Three former SA National Parks employees and two traffic officials accused of rhino poaching appeared in the Nelspruit Regional Court on Tuesday.
They were arrested last February after two white rhino carcasses were discovered in the Pretoriuskop section of the Kruger National Park.
The defence argued that it was not ready for trial as it had not been issued with the proper case documents, including affidavits which had been commissioned.
The matter was postponed to the 13th of August and all the accused are out on bail.
