The trial of two former senior officials from the Collins Chabane Municipality, facing charges relating to the VBS Mutual Bank looting scandal, has been delayed.
Former municipal manager, Charlotte Ngobeni, and former CFO, Eddie Makamu, are being tried in the High Court sitting in the Palm Ridge Magistrates Court.
The first case of municipal officials implicated in the VBS scandal to go on trial hit a snag yesterday due to the defence lawyers saying they have not received the documentation to proceed.
The trial of two Limpopo municipal officials accused of investing R120m into the now defunct VBS Mutual Bank has been postponed to next week to allow the defence to get more documentation.
