Zandile Mafe’s case was postponed to 11 January after his application was denied on Tuesday, 4 January when the state asked for more time to prepare and investigate further to confirm his place of residence.
Mafe was bust on Sunday, 2 December at about dawn in the Parliament precinct after fire had broken out on the premises.
He was allegedly found in possession of items stolen from inside Parliament.
Dressed in a grey shirt and shorts, Mafe, who is believed to live in Khayelitsha, seemed dazed as he stood in the dock and turned round as cameras snapped him.
