“Hopefully the trial might resume then, depending if they have hired new lawyers,” Mthembu told News24 on July 30.
At their last appearance, the men told the Witbank Regional Court that they had fired their lawyers.
Mthembu was attacked while withdrawing money from an ATM in Mandela Street, Emalahleni, on October 19 last year.
He was approached by an armed man, accompanied by several others, and ordered to withdraw all the money in his account.
A scuffle ensued and Mthembu was shot. The bullet grazed his cheek and hit him in the shoulder. He was hospitalised for 10 days.
The men were arrested at their homes in an informal settlement in Emalahleni.
