A court denies Mogotsi’s bid to unmask or identify state witnesses, while also postponing his trial. According to reporting, the matter is pushed to 20 August to give the prosecution time to provide the defence with the remaining investigation docket. The postponement is described as necessary to ensure the defence receives the full set of materials before the proceedings continue. The decision means the trial does not proceed as scheduled and the witness identities requested by the accused are not disclosed at this stage. The court’s ruling on the attempt to unmask state witnesses allows the prosecution to retain its approach regarding witness disclosure for now. The focus of the next stage of the case is on completion of the investigation materials to be handed to the defence, after which the trial is expected to resume on the later date.
