The trial of the so-called "Modimolle Monster" Johan Kotze and his three co-accused is expected to continue in the High Court in Pretoria on Monday.
The trial was postponed o Friday because one of the lawyers in the case was ill.
Kotze is accused of mutilating and orchestrating the gang-rape of his ex-wife Ina Bonnette, and of murdering his stepson Conrad, 19, on January 3, 2012.
Andries Sithole, Pieta Mohlake, and Sello Mphaka are accused of kidnapping, assaulting, repeatedly raping, and attempting to murder
Bonnette.
All four have pleaded not guilty.
Last week, Mphaka told the court that Sithole said they were lucky to sleep with a white woman.
"Andries [Sithole] said where will you ever see a white person giving his wife to black people? We're lucky. Now we can experience
how it feels [to have sex with a white woman]," said Mphaka.
He told the court that he did not rape Bonnette, but only pretended to do so.
"I went to lie on her. I pulled down my zip, but my penis was still in my underpants," said Mphaka.
He testified that Mohlake had also not had sex with Bonnette. He said Mohlake lay on Bonnette but his pants were still on.
Bonnette earlier testified that Sithole, Mohlake and Mphaka had raped her.
