Limpopo National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Mashudu Malabi-Dzhangi added that only the parents and the legal team of the affected parties will be allowed in the Polokwane High Court throughout the duration of the trial. 

Malabi-Dzhangi said although there were adults in the matter, the legal teams agreed that the trial will be heard in camera. 

She also said that media will not be allowed to cover the court proceedings. 

Choene Maleka, 35, Albert Mothapo and nine minors briefly appeared in the Polokwane High Court on Monday morning where their trial was postponed and set to be heard from June 29 to July 10.
