The NPA's Investigative Directorate spokesperson Sindisiwe Twala confirmed that the case against Bosasa Operations (Pty) had been postponed in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes Court.
The matter will be back in court on June 24.
“The accused requested that the matter be postponed to allow them a further extension to study the docket and possibly enter into pleas,” said Twala.
