A case against two men accused of murder has been postponed to November.
The two appeared in the Pretoria High Court on Monday for the 2015 murder case.
The third accused, Bonolo Lekalakala, was serving a 55-year sentence after she pleaded guilty in May to the murder of her parents.
She was sentenced to a collective 40-year imprisonment for the two murders and 15 years for robbery with aggravating circumstances.
Wonderboompoort police spokesperson Constable Mandlakayise Zwane said Lekalakala confessed to conspiring with the two to murder her parents.

“She also confessed to working with the men to murder [her parents] and dispose of their bodies,” he said.
“We are positive that the men will be found guilty, because by confessing, the daughter turned state witness.”
Zwane said more information about how the murders took place would come out in court.
The bodies of Lekalakala’s parents were discovered in the Hennops river in Atteridgeville on 27 December 2015.
“The daughter then opened a missing persons’ case at the Wonderboompoort police on 30 December 2015. Her parents lived in Capital Park,” Zwane said.

Zwane said the daughter was arrested during an interview with the Atteridgeville police on 7 January.
“Later that day the boyfriend along with a friend were arrested. The Atteridgeville police transferred the docket to the Wonderboompoort police station for further investigation.”
The case will resume in the Pretoria High Court on 6 November.
