Usindiso Building arsonist, Sithembiso Lawrence Mdlalose, appeared in the Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg, where his matter was postponed to next month.

Usindiso Building arsonist, Sithembiso Lawrence Mdlalose, will have to wait until next month to know his fate.

On Wednesday, the Gauteng High Court, Johannesburg, reserved its judgment against the 31-year-old.

The matter was postponed to July 21 to allow the State to comply with court directives and to address issues relating to certain post-mortem findings that were previously raised by the court.

According to the State's case, the accused, who was a resident of the building, was allegedly involved in a violent altercation with another resident of the abandoned building, which housed more than 200 squatters before the tragic incident.
