National Prosecuting Authority Gauteng spokesperson, Phindi Mjonondwane says the case has been postponed to August 28 for a pre-sentence report.
“We welcome the plea of guilty as it signals the willingness by the accused to take full responsibility for his actions. We are confident as the NPA that the court after hearing after hearing arguments from both the State and the Defence, will be in a position to impose a just sentence.”
