PRETORIA - International Pentecostal Holiness Church leader Mike Sandlana has been denied bail.
He's accused of bribing Judge Portia Phahlane to rule in his favour in a church succession battle.
There's a bitter battle over who takes control of the church and its coffers which hold around R400-million.
Sandlana has also been described as a sexual predator who ruled by fear.
He remains behind bars and is expected back in court on 6 March 2026.
