UPDATE: KFC assault accused back in court

The five men accused of assaulting a couple at a fast food outlet are due back in the Pretoria North Magistrate Court on Thursday.

Last month the state and the defence agreed that would be the final postponement.

The defence highlighted the importance of the postponement being the last as the case would be ongoing for two years this month.

Stephan Nel (38), DJ van Rooyen (26), Marius Harding (22), Ockert Muller (20) and Joshua Schultz (21) are accused of assaulting Jacob and his wife Dudu Sono at the KFC drive-through in August 2017.

They face charges of attempted murder, assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and pointing a firearm.

The altercation between the two parties apparently started when Dudu asked the men to move their vehicle forward in the drive-through queue.
