Five former employees of the uMngeni licensing office in Howick, near Pietermaritzburg, will have to wait until next month to know the consequences of their corruption and fraud.
Their case was postponed in the specialised commercial crimes court on Wednesday because of the unavailability of social workers reports on some of the convicted officials.
The case returns to court on March 2.
