An SA Air Force member charged with murder is expected to appear in the Bloemfontein Magistrate's Court on Tuesday.
The matter against Corporal Simphiwe Magudulela, 27, was postponed last Tuesday for further investigation and to make arrangements for a psychiatric evaluation.
Magudulela is being represented by a Legal Aid lawyer.
A man was killed and another was critically wounded in a shooting at the Bloemspruit Air Force Base, outside Bloemfontein, at 2am on September 1.
At the time, police said a serviceman on duty had shot two colleagues.
One of the men died on the scene and the other was taken to hospital in a critical condition.
SA National Defence Force spokesman Brig-Gen Xolani Mabanga said the circumstances leading to the shooting at the base were being investigated internally.
