The court case of a man claiming to be South Africa's “youngest billionaire” was postponed in the Orlando Magistrate's Court on Monday, Gauteng police said.
Mandla Lamba, who stands accused of fraud and theft, would appear before the court again next Tuesday for a formal bail application, Lieutenant Colonel Lungelo Dlamini said.
Lamba was arrested last Tuesday at Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton, Johannesburg, on 15 charges, including theft, fraud and culpable homicide.
