The Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate's Court has postponed the case of the 259 Marikana protesters for another week.

The men who were involved in the Lonmin mine tragedy last week are being charged with crimes ranging from public violence to murder after the bloodbath near Marikana.

A total of 44 deaths resulted from the massacre.

The men will now remain in custody until the case resumes next Monday.
