A Port Elizabeth taxi driver accused of causing a fatal accident which left two young women dead and a third injured appeared briefly in the Port Elizabeth Magistrates Court on Monday.
The 28-year-old, Yibanathi Ndike, is out on warning for the accident in which 19-year-old Micayla Victor and 21-year-old Celine De Ridder were killed almost a year ago.
He is alleged to have jumped a red robot in Kempston Road before colliding into their light motor vehicle.
Ndike intended to plead guilty last year but changed his mind at the 11th hour.
He also fired his legal representative and was represented by a new defense council, Attorney John Coetzee, who requested a postponement to obtain copies of the docket.
Ndike faces two charges of culpable homicide and one of reckless and negligent driving and will be back in court next Tuesday.
Victor and De Ridder both worked at the Atlas control room and were on their way to work when the accident happened.
