# The Gauteng High Court sitting in Benoni has dismissed a Section 174 application by two apartheid-era police officers accused of the murder of Caiphus Nyoka. The Congress of South African Students activist was shot nine times in 1987. Leon van den Berg and Abraham Engelbrecht argued the state didn’t present a compelling case, but the court disagreed. The National Prosecuting Authority’s Lumka Mahanjana confirmed the trial continues from 8 to 19 September:
