Judgment To Be Passed Down As Omotoso Rape Trial Concludes

Judgment in the long-running case of rape-accused Pastor Timothy Omotoso and two co-accused is expected to be delivered in the Gqeberha High Court in the Eastern Cape today.

Omotoso was arrested at the Dawid Stuurman Airport eight years ago and has been in custody since.

The two co-accused, Lusanda Solani and Zukiswa Sitho, have been out on R2 000 bail each.

They face more than 30 charges that include rape, human trafficking, and racketeering.

Presiding Judge Irma Schoeman will deliver the judgment today after Omotoso has been in custody since his arrest in 2017 and applied twice to be granted bail - to no prevail.
