The human trafficking trial against KuGompo City school Deputy Principal Vuyokazi Gana has been postponed to February 11, 2027, by the High Court in KuGompo City.
The court was expected to hear closing arguments from the state and the defence but could not proceed due to the ill health of Judge Malusi Thembekile.
Gana is facing charges of keeping a brothel and living off the proceeds of prostitution after six other charges were dropped.
The matter relates to allegations that she kept girls aged between 16 and 18 at her home in KuGompo City in the Eastern Cape and exposed them to sex work for financial gain.
Gana is out on R10 000 bail.
