"The case was postponed until March 12," Captain Cherelle Eelis said.

"She will stay in custody until her next appearance."

Venolia Siwa, 35, stands accused of drowning her children -- aged between two and 13 -- when she thought a concoction she had given them was not working fast enough.

She was arrested after the bodies of her children were found at a house in Lower Majeakgoro village on October 17.

Since her arrest, Siwa has undergone an 30-day evaluation at the Weskoppies psychiatric hospital.

The psychiatrists who evaluated Siwa would submit their reports at her next appearance, Eelis said.
