The postponement is to allow the defence time to prepare a bail application and the state is opposing bail.

It was Monday afternoon when the victim wanted to knock off. But this did not happen as she was dragged into the room, where the assault happened. The victim alleges that the accused then collected dogs so that they too, may sexually abuse her. She says the accused had barricaded the door with a steel table. She had to perform unspeakable sexual acts on the man and the dogs.

Meanwhile, at court people had come out in their number to support the victim. Among them South African Human Rights Commission(SAHRC) The commission's Jonas Sibanyoni says assaulting a person using animals is violation of human dignity.

"We are here taking a watching brief on behalf of the victim. Why so? Because after we read the statement from the police to the media we noticed that there are some elements of human rights violation in so far as the aspects that that relates to the dog that has to do with human dignity. We are of the opinion of the feeling that we've got to be proactive in this matter to see to it to what extend the right of the victim has been violated. That is human dignity."

Political parties were in attendance. African National Congress in Bronkhorstsruit says it condemn human rights abuse and alleged acts of racism. ANC regional leader Dumisani Mlangeni says they condemn the incident in strongest terms possible.

"We blatantly condemn this barbaric incident in our community and we are still shocked that at this age in 2017 after 24 years in democracy we still find this merciless and barbaric activities that are still taking place in our communities and as African National Congress we really condemn this barbaric action."

Economic Freedom Fighters says South Africa's judicial system is still racist. EFF's Emmanuel Ndlovu says, "So what we're looking for is justice, but the justice it seems liken it's failing us in most cases because now we just came out of the court and we just saw something because when they were supposed to solve this case the magistrate that was there they just changed the judge which was there and then they put the white person which was not supposed to be there. They were suppose to give a black person a chance to preside over what's going to happen to this case."

South Africa Federation of Trade Unions Secretary-General Zwelinzima Vavi among the people who attended the court proceedings. Vavi described this incident as worst kind of human rights abuse. He says such kind of incidents happening more than twenty years into democracy are embarrassing.

"But when acts of this kind take place twenty three years into democracy, when a minority seeks to reverse the clock and remind us of worst kinds of human rights abuses during apartheid but none happening twenty three years into our democracy we get so disgusting. I mean the things that have happened to that lady is so disgusting. You cannot even have proper words to describe it. Unspeakable."

The case has been postponed to next week Thursday to allow the defence to prepare for bail application.
