Roodepoort-A case of a Kwaito music star Charles “Brickz” Ndlovu was postponed today.

U’underpant fame singer appeared briefly before Roodepoort Magistrate Court on Thursday.

Brickz was arrested a month ago after he allegedly raped his niece at his house in Honeydew.

The atrocity allegedly took place back in March and it was reported only seven months later.

The Judge postponed the case until 09 December 2014.

Brickz did not spent more than five minutes in the dock.

He was wearing a grey trouser and sky blue shirt and looked relaxed.

Kwaito star supporters were disgruntled and left the court in silence.

Most of them were wearing t-shirt depicted with singer’s face on it with a message “Ube strong malome”.

Some of Brickz supporters were swearing at journalists and wanted to cause a scene outside the court.

Brickz lawyer said nothing much as the case postponed.
