Johannesburg - The case against 11 men accused of dealing in cycads has been postponed in Bushbuckridge magistrate's court until June 22, a court official said on Friday.
The men were arrested on Wednesday after an eight-month operation by police and the Mpumalanga Parks Board.
Inspector Leonard Hlathi said 105 protected indigenous plants - worth more than R240 000 - were confiscated during the men's arrest.
The case had been transferred to Graskop magistrate's court, the court official said.
