Noxolo Nqwazi during a previous appearance in the Gqeberha Specialised Commercial Crime Court. Her corruption trial is expected to resume in 2024.
The fraud and corruption trial of suspended Nelson Mandela Bay city manager Noxolo Nqwazi will, in all likelihood, only resume next year, the Specialised Commercial Crime Court in Gqeberha said. "The state will make sure that the defence receives all the documents we need and that nothing is outstanding," Griebenow said after the court adjourned.There have been several delays since the start of the trial in September due to outstanding documents the state did not provide to the defence on time.Another delay arose when the defence submitted an application for Magistrate Vusiwe Mnyani to recuse herself for allegedly being biased against the defence and lenient towards the state.
