Jacquen ‘Boeta’ Appollis, Steveno van Rhyn, and Kelly Smith briefly appeared before Judge Nathan Erasmus days before they are expected to hear their fate.

The trio, who were being detained at Pollsmoor Prison, were told they would be transported closer to Saldanha Bay, where the proceedings would take place at the White City Multipurpose Hall.

Judge Erasmus ordered that Boeta and van Rhyn be transported back to Malmesbury Prison, where they had been held for the duration of the trial.

Kelly will be moved to Saldanha.
