The National Prosecuting Authority says the defence requested the delay.

This is to deal with two outstanding matters.
The first is Bester's co-accused and girlfriend Nandipha Magadumana's application to the Supreme Court.
The other is Bester's application to have access to a laptop.
Bester and his co-accused face charges relating to his daring escape from a Mangaung prison.
