He was provided with a docket so he could prepare his defence.
Moyo made headlines when he allegedly walked out of the Pretoria Magistrate's Court, while on crutches, on August 10. He was not locked in a cell or wearing shackles at the time.
He was re-arrested in Hillbrow on August 28.

All four are to appear on the robbery charges on October 25.
