The state has been accused of unreasonable delays after it requested a postponement of the Nulane trial to Monday to allow a witness based in Nigeria to get to SA.

All five counsel representing the accused objected and opposed the postponement, saying it was unreasonable and prejudiced their clients.

All the defence counsels indicated that they “vehemently oppose” the state’s postponement request, labelling it a delay tactic and suggested that arrangements be made for him to testify virtually. “Prejudice is significant not only in time and costs but also in preparing for a cross-examination. A postponement would be massively prejudicial,” Hellens said.
