File: Controversial Nigerian pastor Timothy Omotoso and his co-accused Zukiswa Sitho and Lusanda Sulani during the rape and human trafficking trial at the Port Elizabeth High Court on July 30, 2019 in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa.
PORT ELIZABETH - The case against controversial Nigerian pastor Timothy Omotoso and his two co-accused is finally underway in the High Court in Port Elizabeth.
This is a fresh trial after Judge Mandela Makaula recused himself.
It emerged that some state witnesses stayed at a guesthouse partly owned by his wife.
The case was further delayed for almost a year as Omotoso brought several appeals which were all dismissed.
Omotoso and his two co-accused are facing more than 90 charges including rape, human trafficking and racketeering.
