Case against nine Zimbabweans postponed to Nov 17
The matter was postponed because the state prosecutor was not available in court.
The bail application of five Zimbabwean nationals accused of mercenary activities has been postponed to November 17. The men appeared briefly at Kempton Park Magistrates’ Court for charges related to contravening the Foreign Military Assistance Act. The delay was due to the unavailability of the state prosecutor in court.
Abram Magaboke, a spokesperson for the Gauteng National Prosecuting Authority, stated that the nine accused individuals were planning to use South Africa as a transit country to participate in the Russia-Ukraine war. The matter was adjourned to 10 and 12 November 2026, respectively, to allow for legal representation. The NPA remains committed to enforcing the rule of law and ensuring accountability for those who violate South African laws.
