A trial date has been set for September 8. Mduduzi Mfundisi Nzuza and Sam Baloyi face charges of attempted murder, reckless endangerment, failure to take reasonable precautions to avoid danger, and negligent use of a firearm.
The pair
allegedly shot at the award-winning musician's car when he failed to
stop at a roadblock they had set up at a petrol station on the N1 in
Midrand on October 28.
Chana, whose real name is Khulane Morule, was wounded in the hand and back.
Police had been searching for a group of men who kidnapped a Bedfordview, Johannesburg, businessman.
The officers allegedly mistook Chana's luxury sedan for that of the kidnappers.
The
ransom money was to have been left at the petrol station. A police
officer has since been arrested and charged with the kidnapping. A warrant of arrest for Nzuza was cancelled on Friday when he produced his mother's death certificate.
He had failed to make his last court appearance due to her death. Both men are out on bail.
