The Health Professions Council of South Africa says the sentencing of Dr. Wouter Basson has been postponed, due to the unavailability of his legal counsel.
The Professional Conduct Committee of the HPCSA found Dr. Basson guilty of unprofessional conduct on a number of counts, at a hearing held on December 2013.
He was found guilty of unprofessional conduct by the Council last December.
The Council charged Basson with breaching medical ethics when he manufactured and provided poisonous substances to apartheid security forces.
Basson risks losing his licence to practise as a doctor in South Africa or anywhere in the world.
The Council says a new sentencing date will be announced as soon as it has been set.
