Lindani and Lindo Ndimande, as well as Mziwethemba Gwabeni are again expected to be in the dock for their bail applications.
Last week, the court heard that the trio was not ready to make an application as their affidavits needed to be amended.
Gwabeni, a Durban businessman is accused of being the paymaster in the case.
The State alleges he received a sum of more than R800,000 in his business bank account which he subsequently paid to his co-accused.
The money is alleged to have been payment for the hit on musician Forbes over a year ago.
Meanwhile, two others arrested in connection with the case remain in Eswatini.
Brothers, Siyabonga and Malusi Ndimande are set to appear in the Manzini Magistrates Court in Eswatini on Tuesday.
South Africa has yet to file extradition papers to have them brought back to the country to face charges.
