They are facing charges of murder, attempted murder, possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition, possession of explosives, possession of hijacked vehicles and conspiracy to commit cash-in-transit heist.
Eight suspects were shot and killed by police following a shoot-out.
Gauteng National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane says the case was postponed pending residential address verification.
"Two addresses have been verified and the process to verify the others is still continuing, three of the accused are Zimbabwean nationals and one is a Botswana national. The investigating officer is working with the Home Affairs Department, to confirm such information. If they are found to be in the country illegally, additional charges will be added."
