GEORGE NEWS - The case against Warrant Officer Christopher Stevens (47), who stands accused of intimidation, was again postponed in the Thembalethu Regional Court on Monday 9 December.
The case relates to an alleged threatening phone call to Cornelius Esau, former Uncedo taxi association spokesperson.
Esau said that on 26 January 2016, he received an anonymous phone call on his private phone while he was at the Uncedo offices.
"A male person with a Capetonian Afrikaans accent talked to me in a very threatening tone and said, 'Ons weet met watse k*k jy besig is in George, ons gaan kom vir jou, ons weet waar jy bly. Jy moet lekker slaap, jy en jou familie,' before dropping the call," said Esau.
Esau alleged that a similar call was made to the late Uncedo chairman Sikhumbuza Mini (52) during this time.
They went to the Thembalethu police station to open a case of intimidation.
"Approximately seven months after the calls, Mr Mini was killed right in front of his house," said Esau.
Stevens was first summonsed to court on Monday 15 July. This is the third time the case is postponed. The new court dates are 1 and 2 April 2020.
