The trial of eight men accused of robbing the Malamulele police station of firearms has been postponed in the Polokwane High Court, Limpopo. 

The trial has been postponed to the 7th until the 24th of April 2026 because Patrick Matodzi who is the lawyer for accused number one, Fokisi Mabunda was not available.  

Mabunda and seven co-accused allegedly used the stolen firearms to carry out a crime spree across Limpopo and Mpumalanga.  

They have been in custody since their arrest in January 2022.  

They are facing 94 charges, including murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit robbery, and multiple counts of robbery.   

Judge Ephraim Mokgoba reiterated his disapproval of yet another postponement.

Mokgoba told the accused that ,if their  legal representative are not available on the 7th of April 2026  they will have to represent themselves.
