During the last court appearance, the presiding judge raised concerns on the readiness of the defence team after the accused appointed new lawyers.
But that legal team has assured the court that it is ready for trial.
Meanwhile, Sibiya was sentenced to 12 years imprisonment on Thursday, 7 April 2022, for an unrelated attempted murder case.
