THE case of former Orlando Pirates player Thamsanqa Gabuza will be back in court on Monday, 29 January.
This comes after it was postponed on Tuesday, 19 December in the Alexandra Magistrates Court.
This was because the complainant couldn't attend as she was in the Eastern Cape.
The 36-year-old popular footballer previously appeared in court on Monday, 11 December. His case was postponed as the court was looking to do a possible mediation.
The footballer, who was charged with malicious damage to property, has offered to pay for all the items he damaged. Magistrate Peggy Senne granted the soccer star bail of R3 000 on 22 November after his defence lawyer Themba Ngobeni said it was still the middle of the month and he had not yet been paid.

This after he surrendered to cops at the Bramley Police Station in Joburg on Tuesday, 21 November.
Prosecutor Tshiego Deka read out the bail conditions, stating that he must not go anywhere near the victim or have any contact with her.
She said he must attend all court dates. He must not commit another similar offence, or he will be sent back to prison.
Police investigated the player after a case was opened against him on 11 November for malicious damage to property.
The 31-year-old woman, who is an online teacher, previously spoke to Daily Sun about her ordeal.
She said she met Gabuza in 2021 and they became friends before trying out a romantic relationship which never worked out. The player, on the other hand, claimed that the woman was his wife.
His defence lawyer Ngobeni told the SunTeam that he had only been convicted of one count of criminal damage to property.
