Hadebe told magistrate Arthi Sukraj that one of his clients had instructed her to consult with a high court practitioner with a view to entering a guilty plea.
She and prosecutor Israel Zuma agreed before Sukraj that the matter be provisionally postponed to October 12 and that the date will not be for a bail application but to decide on the guilty plea.
"Your worship‚ the only reason for postponement is to allow for consultation with the high court legal practitioner‚" said Hadebe.
Zuma insisted that the state was still opposed to bail.
Meanwhile‚ the seven accused raised a complaint through Hadebe‚ revealing that they had been assaulted in prison‚ suffering injuries and needed medical help.
