The National Prosecuting Authority NPA is expected to appear in the Gqeberha High Court on Monday to argue for leave to appeal the outcome of the Timothy Omotoso case.
This follows Judge Irma Schoemans decision earlier this year to acquit televangelist Omotoso and his co-accused on charges of rape and human trafficking.
The judge cited the states failure to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, highlighting issues such as poor cross-examination and possible prosecutorial misconduct.
