News24 reports that the disciplinary hearing of one of the 10 public works employees accused of wrongdoing in the Nkandla saga was postponed in Durban on Tuesday.  

Sibusiso Chonco and the 9 other officials are accused of acting unlawfully during the R246m upgrade made to President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla homestead.  On Tuesday, Chonco made an appearance at his hearing after not having been present for medical reasons on Monday.  He kept his head down and let his lawyer, Adrian Moodley, do the talking.  Moodley lamented the need for a postponement, saying Chonco was not unwilling, but unable to participate in proceedings due to poor health.  Khuzwayo observed that Chonco appeared unable to participate in proceedings and granted the application for a postponement.  His hearing was set down from July 4 to 6.
