The state is set to perform its own medical examination on corruption accused Angelo Agrizzi following his appearance on a television show in September despite a medical report from his team saying he is not fit for trial.
The National Prosecuting Authority’s Investigating Directorate spokesperson Sindisiwe Seboka said the postponement was to allow for the medical examination to take place.
She said it was because of Agrizzi’s continued absences that the state had separated his trial from that of his former co-accused, former parliamentarian Vincent Smith. She said before coming to court, Agrizzi’s legal team had advised he was willing to do the examination.
