The murder and kidnapping trial against two men accused of blowing up the Cosas 4 has been postponed yet again - much to the ire of the victims' family members.

Former apartheid Security Branch member Christian Siebert Rorich and co-accused former askari Tlhomedi Ephraim Mfalapitsa appeared in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Monday.

The pair have been charged with murder, kidnapping and crimes against humanity relating to the bombing of Congress of South African Students (Cosas) members Eustice "Bimbo" Madikela, Ntshingo Mataboge (Matabane), Fanyana Nhlapo and Zandile Musi in 1982.
