The trial of Alexis Bizos, son of Adv. George Bizos, on a charge of assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, would have started in the Johannesburg Magistrate’s Court today. Adv. Phyllis Vorster, prosecutor at AfriForum’s Private Prosecution Unit, appeared as prosecutor on behalf of the victim, Monique van Oosterhout (Alexis’ estranged wife). The trial date has been postponed to February 23, 2022 after Bizos decided at the last minute, without any explanation to appoint new lawyers. The defense team also put on record this morning that, although a trial date has been set, the accused’s counsel are involved in a judicial inquest into the Life Esidimeni incident in February, in which the Private Prosecution Unit is also involved.
