Parliament arson case returns to court

CAPE TOWN - Alleged Parliament arsonist Zandile Mafe is a step closer to his trial if all goes according to plan in the Western Cape High Court on Friday.

READ: Zandile Mafe's pre-trial hearing postponed

The State is expected to furnish the defence with outstanding documents for pre-trial proceedings.

That includes a crime scene investigation report and video footage.

Another issue that could arise, is that of the admissibility of Mafe's confession.

In August, the matter was postponed as Mafe was on a hunger strike and refused to be brought up to court.

The accused is expected to plead not guilty to the charges.
