A new trial date has been set for former acting National Police Commissioner Khomotso Phahlane and five others in a R54 million fraud and corruption case.
The six were arrested in September 2022 following an investigation into two South African Police Service (SAPS) software contracts allegedly awarded irregularly.
The matter relates to software procured for police intelligence operations, including a system intended to monitor social media activity during the 2015 #FeesMustFall protests.
The Pretoria High Court has now set next Thursday as the new date for plea and trial proceedings.
On Monday, the State told the court that it needs to amend the charge sheet before the accused can enter their pleas.
