The trial against Enyobeni Tavern owners Vuyokazi and Siyakhangela Ndevu has been postponed to 23 May 2023.
The trial began at the East London Magistrates Court on Tuesday morning.
It’s understood the state had lined up a witness from the Liquor Board, but prosecutors could not call the second witness because load shedding was scheduled to take place.
The Ndevu’s are charged with selling liquor to underage children in relation to a deadly rave which took place at the couple’s Scenery Park tavern.
A group of 21 teenagers, including pre-teens died under mysterious circumstances while attending the close-of-school event in June last year.
