Former Hawks spokesperson McIntosh Polela, who faces 13 poaching charges, is considering pleading guilty, the Pietermaritzburg Regional Court was told on Friday.
Prosecutor Waldo Smit asked regional Magistrate Corrie Greyling to postpone the case to 12 December.
His alleged poaching crimes were committed at Himeville in February and Besters, near Ladysmith, in April. They include the offences of hunting between sunset and sunrise, hunting from a vehicle and using an artificial light.
