A trial date is set.
Could be a lot of things -- you need to ask specifically what the attorney means. It could mean, for example, the date is just a "status" date and the judge just wants to know what is happening and may then set a trial date, or it could be a trial date but because of the court's backlog having a trial soon may be unlikely. There are other reasons but again, if this is troubling you then you should ask. If you're paying the attorney then as your attorney he or she has a duty to communicate effectively, but you too need to ask questions sometimes!!!
The "status" of the case refers to what stage of the judicial process it is in, in the court system or on the court's docket. It refers to what step of the process the case is currently (e.g.: preliminary hearing - pre-trial - pending trial - adjudicated - etc).
It means that hearing, trial, or whatever, is temporarily recessed and will be continued to another 'date certain.'
The disposition date refers to the date that the case was disposed of, or adjudicated, in court. If you enter a plea, the disposition date will be that day. If you have a trial, the disposition date will be the date that the jury reads their verdict.
In a legal context, "moot" typically means that an issue is no longer relevant or requires a decision because it has been resolved or circumstances have changed. So, a status conference being moot would suggest that there is no longer a need for the scheduled meeting to discuss the current status of the case.
On Feb 28, 2008, SABC News reported the alleged killers would return to court on March 26, 2008. A trial date was expected to be announced at that time. You may read this story here: http://www.sabcnews.co.za/south_africa/crime1justice/0,2172,165000,00.html But as of March 27th, I can find no news of a March 26th court appearance nor the announcement of a trial date.
