Mike Sandlana, the leader of a faction of the International Pentecostal Holiness Church IPHC - whose nationality is also a subject of police investigation - has three dubious IDs, one registered on a date that does not exist.
These revelations were laid bare on Wednesday at the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Court, where he was applying for bail for allegations of corruption, money laundering, and bribing a judge to rule in his favour in a long-standing church succession dispute.
The issue about his three questionable IDs is contained in the affidavit by investigating officer Lt-Col Ludi Schenelle.
