Members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) are supporting the police. The accused appeared in court last month and the pre-trial hearing was postponed to 3 November.
The aim was to enable defence lawyers to receive relevant documents regarding the case.
The state has revealed that there are more than 300 000 pages of documents related to the case.
