# Pre-trial proceedings of former State Security minister Bongani Bongo has been postponed to 22 May in the High Court in Western Cape to allow him to pursue an appeal at the Constitutional Court against a Supreme Court of Appeal ruling. Bongo is accused of attempting to bribe a parliamentary legal advisor during a 2017 inquiry into state capture at Eskom. State says it is ready to proceed, while defence argues appeal must be heard. The bail remains extended.
