Judgment in the trial of two men, accused of assaulting human rights lawyer Dali Mpofu, was postponed in the East London Regional Court on Thursday.
23-year old Chuma Komeni, and 19-year old Thulani Simon, appeared before magistrate Sadia Jacobs, who heard that their legal aid lawyer Sivuyile Ntlonze was absent.
Judgment will now be handed down on Monday.
Komeni and Simon are accused of stabbing Mpofu several times, before robbing him of his personal belongings in a bushy area along the Eastern Beach in East London on April 11 last year.
They are facing charges of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and robbery.
