Johannesburg – The trial of Islamic State-linked twins Tony-Lee and Brandon-Lee Thulsie was expected to start on Thursday after endless postponements dragged the case for five years.
Last week only the case was postponed twice due to the prosecutor’s ill health and the twins lawyers arguing that the matter should be heard in the regional court and not high court.
The twins have not set foot outside prison since their arrest in July 2016 during raids in Newclare and Azaadville.
The pair was arrested following allegations they were linked to the jihadist group Islamic State, the two have never stepped foot outside prison.
