The trial of 62 alleged instigators of the July 2021 unrest is set to start at the Durban High Court today.
The accused are facing charges that include incitement to commit public violence, terrorism, and conspiracy to commit murder.
They remain out on bail under strict conditions.
The commencement of the trial was delayed over the legal representation of some of the accused.
The presiding Judge, Jacqueline Henriques had previously warned that she wanted the trial to start when the matter resumes, whether or not three of the accused have appointed legal representatives.
The trial dates were officially set for July 20th to August 21st, 2026, with the second session running from August 24th to September 18th.
