The long-running trial of Nigerian pastor, Timothy Omotoso, was postponed on Monday to a date in January.
This followed the recent death of one of the state prosecutor’s in the matter, Advocate Zukile Mdolombo.
National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Anelisa Ngcakani, said the case would resume on 26 January 2021.
The televangelist, who has lost three applications for bail, also lost another application on Monday to have the testimony of two witnesses declared inadmissible, according to the SABC.
Omotoso has been in custody since his dramatic arrest at the Port Elizabeth airport in 2017.
He and co-accused Lusanda Sulani and Zukiswa Sitho, who are out on bail, face over 90 charges that include rape, sexual assault and human trafficking.
