Cape Town - The fraud trial of the former anti-apartheid campaigner, Mr Allan Boesak, was postponed again yesterday until August 24th after months of wrangling over defence costs.

Mr Boesak, who did not appear in the Cape Town high court for the formal postponement, is accused by a Danish aid agency of siphoning off up to R1 million (about £114,000) in aid donations during the anti-apartheid struggle in the 1980s.
