CAPE TOWN - The National Prosecuting Authority says the human trafficking trial of pastor Timothy Omotoso and two others will have to start from scratch after the judge recused himself.The matter has now been postponed to the end of July when a new judge will preside.Makaula told the court it's in the interest of justice that he recuses himself.
He did so after it emerged that some state witnesses had been accommodated at a guesthouse in which his wife has business interests. Makaula said he would do so even though he does not personally have financial interests or a role in the affairs of his wife's business venture. While an application based on this fact was not brought before court, the judge says he felt it was the right thing to do.“It’s going to start from the beginning and Cheryl Zondi will have to testify in court again.”
The followers of Papa Omotoso prayed and faster. On Friday they were celebrating however they don't know what's coming, they pray again to Judge Mandela back.
Let's it's gonna last a week only then send this animal straight to the bin
More waste of Taxpayers money.. Since TimothOmotoso is Nigerian, shouldn't the Nigerian Govt pick up the tab?
I pray for the best judge 👩🏿⚖️. A female hopefully.
He is gonna tell his followers that he prayed for that to happen. He has the powers!
