Magistrate Retha Pretorius today, Thursday, 30 July postponed the case for further investigation.
The five men were arrested at approximately 18:00 on 8 June by constables Rolando Jansen and Francois Fielies of the Albertinia Police on the N2 within hours after they brutalised Du Preez.
They were found in possession of Du Preez's cellular phone and other personal effects.
The five juveniles are regarded as hardened criminals who were incarcerated at Huis Outeniqua in George on charges that range from attempted murder, robbery and housebreaking. They escaped from Huis Outeniqua on Thursday, 4 June.
They went on a crime spree since their escape and several charges of theft are being investigated against them.
