Radovan Krejcir, a convicted Czech crime boss serving a 35-year sentence at Kgosi Mampuru II Correctional Centre, caused a delay in his court proceedings by refusing to testify.

He alleged that prison authorities provided him with expired bread and juice, despite his wheat allergy and medically prescribed dietary requirements.Krejcir claimed the food violated his therapeutic diet manual and prevented him from taking his prescribed medication.His legal team supported the complaint, emphasizing that inmates should not be served expired food.

The magistrate acknowledged the issue but stated the court's primary focus was on the Section 342A application regarding prosecution delays, not dietary concerns.Krejcir cited a High Court order allowing his legal representatives to arrange suitable meals during proceedings if prison authorities failed.The court postponed the matter to 14 July 2026.The case highlights tensions between prison management, legal rights, and the administration of justice in South Africa's correctional system.
