The trial of the 95 Libyans arrested after a raid on an illegal military training camp in the city of White River has been postponed to August 5, the South African National Police said Tuesday.
Libyans would remain in custody after they appeared before the city’s District Court on Monday, the police said in a post on X platform.
A South African newspaper reported on Tuesday that Attorney General Martin Britz asked the court to postpone the case until next Monday, while the court made an effort to hire an Arabic translator.
The 95 Libyans appeared in the White River District Court Monday on charges of forgery and contravening immigration law while applying for South African visas.
