# The perjury trial of former Social Development minister Bathabile Dlamini will resume in the Regional Court in Johannesburg tomorrow after proceedings were cut short this morning. Dlamini pleaded not guilty, explaining if she lied under oath while testifying before an inquiry into the social grants scandal of 2017 she did so unknowingly. The state then requested a postponement because it didn’t have sufficient opportunity to consult its first witness and to be able to arrange travel arrangements with another.
