EFF MP Marshall Dlamini's assault case was postponed in the Cape Town Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, until next year.
National Prosecuting Authority Western Cape spokesperson Eric Ntabazalila said the trial would continue when it returned to court on 28 and 29 March.
Dlamini is the secretary-general of the EFF.
The alleged assault on Johan Carstens came during a pre-pandemic State of the Nation Address (SONA) in February 2019.
The alleged assault
occurred shortly after the adjournment of the joint sitting for the SONA, outside the National Assembly, as the procession, led by President Cyril Ramaphosa and the presiding officers, left the House.
