The case involving the Eastern Cape's alleged fake lawyer, Brenda Wardle, has been postponed for another two weeks.
Wardle indicated to the court on Monday that she is not yet ready to proceed with the trial which was set to start in the Port Elizabeth Commercial Crimes Court.
The 56-year-old Wardle, who is conducting her own defence, is facing charges related to pretending to be a lawyer and offering her services to a convicted murderer.
The State alleges that from April 2009 to August 2013 Wardle was paid over half a million Rand to assist jailed Stephanus van Aardt, who was requesting an early release on parole.
The case has been remanded to the 26th of this month and Wardle will remain in custody.
The State alleges that Wardle pretended to be an attorney, but she failed to bring an application for Van Aardt’s early release after being paid R538,766
The so-called legal analyst and author was arrested in East London in June after evading court for more than a year. She was denied bail on the 10th of July
