Judge Sharmaine Balton first heard from Andrea Gabriel SC, who was representing the State's interests in the media application.Balton said:
Gabriel said they wanted one camera in the courtroom for the reading of the charges that was scheduled to take place this week.The reading of charges has been delayed for some time now, with a slew of postponements arising from many of the accused struggling to pay for some of Durban's most expensive criminal lawyers.
Earlier this month, there was a blanket ban preventing media from taking photographs or filming proceedings during the corruption trial. Gumede and her co-accused are charged with racketeering, fraud and corruption relating to a R320-million waste contract.
