Magashule asked the court not to postpone the matter this morning.
He told the judge he thought the case would speed up.
"It is conscious, deliberate to ensure that we don't stand for ANC elections. It is a deliberate move by the National Prosecuting Authority and I am a politician.
'We are going to a conference in December. I will argue that I am not guilty of anything I have not stolen a cent and it is a deliberate move to prevent me from standing."
