A South African court has postponed the case of 95 Libyans arrested at a military-style camp for three weeks.
The delay is due to unclear circumstances surrounding their presence in the country.
The men were detained on July 26 at a remote camp in Mpumalanga, near Mozambique and Eswatini.
They entered South Africa on visas intended for security guard training, but the camp appeared suited for military activities.
Their visas were canceled after being deemed “irregularly acquired” through “misrepresentation” in Tunis.
The government stated that the visas were obtained under false pretenses.
The case has been postponed until August 26 for further investigation.
The men face charges for violating immigration rules, with potential for additional charges, as noted by the police.
Local footage showed the men shouting in Arabic while locked in police vans.
Some refused to return to the trucks, expressing a desire to go home, and reports suggest they may have been sent to train for Libyan factions.
The UN-recognized Libyan government denies any link.
