Mduduzi Manana's sentencing postponed
The former deputy minister of higher education, Mduduzi Manana will have to wait another day before learning his fate.
Manana appeared in the Randburg Magistrate's Court today.
Manana's lawyer Micheal Bill asked for the postponement.
Bill says they need to peruse a probation report before they can continue.
He says there is also a correctional services report which he has not gone through and considered.
The state says it only received the probation report on Tuesday.

Manana pleaded guilty to three counts of assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
The former deputy minister had a run-in with the law after video footage showing him assaulting women at a popular Fourways restaurant in August, went viral.
Manana lost his temper after an argument at the Cubana nightclub on who should succeed President Jacob Zuma at the party's elective conference in December.
Manana subsequently resigned after mounting calls for him to be fired.
