The perjury case against ANC Women's League president and former social development minister Bathabile Dlamini has been pushed to next week Friday where she will be formally charged.

Dlamini briefly appeared before the Johannesburg magistrate's court on Tuesday morning before the matter was postponed.

The charges against Dlamini came after the Constitutional Court recommended that she be investigated and possibly prosecuted for perjury in 2018 for allegedly giving false evidence under oath during the inquiry which was instituted by the court relating to her role in the social grant payment crisis.

Dlamini was found to have been evasive and of giving false information during the inquiry, which was headed by retired judge Bernard Ngoepe and the court subsequently slapped her with a 20% personal cost order in the application by the Black Sash Trust and Freedom Under Law.
