Johannesburg - The minibus taxi driver, who allegedly
knocked down and killed mountain biker Burry Stander, appeared in the Port
Shepstone Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
The matter was postponed to 27 February, KwaZulu-Natal
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Natasha Ramkisson said.
"The defence requested the postponement for reasons
beyond their control. The request was not opposed by the State."
Njabulo Nyawose allegedly knocked down Stander, 25, while
he was cycling in Shelley Beach, on the KwaZulu-Natal south coast, on 3 January.
Stander was fifth in the men's cross-country race at the
2012 London Olympics.
Four years earlier, at the Beijing Games, he finished
15th in the cross-country event.
