JOHANNESBURG - Former Deputy Higher Education Minister Mduduzi Manana was back at the Randburg Magistrates Court for sentencing on Tuesday.
The case was swiftly postponed to Wednesday as Manana&39;s lawyer only received the probation officer&39;s report on Tuesday morning.
In September, Manana faced two counts of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm for striking two women at a Johannesburg nightclub.
