Hundreds of International Pentecostal Holiness Church IPHC congregants have gathered outside the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Pretoria as their leader, Michael Sandlana makes his second appearance.
Sandlana faces 19 counts of corruption and money-laundering alongside his spokesperson, Vusi Ndala, Pretoria High Court Judge, Portia Phahlane and her son Kagiso.
It is alleged that Sandlana paid approximately R2 million to Phahlane to secure a favorable judgment in a case involving the churchs leadership succession battle.
