The Pretoria judge accused of accepting a bribe to make a favourable ruling in a church succession case and who is currently on special leave, Portia Phahlane, could be recalled to complete a double murder case she was presiding over before her arrest.
This is one of the options presented by Gauteng judge president Aubrey Ledwaba to the state prosecutor and the defence in the case of suspected serial killer and murder accused Rassie Nkuna.
On Monday, Ledwaba held a meeting in his chambers in Pretoria with the state and defence to discuss how to proceed with cases that Phahlane was handling before her arrest in December.
