South African judge Portia Phahlane faces bribery charges for allegedly accepting R2 million before being assigned to a high-profile church case.
South African High Court Judge Portia Phahlane faces bribery charges over allegations she received a R2 million bribe seven months before being assigned to a high-profile church succession case.
Prosecutors claim she was involved in secret meetings with church leader Mike Sandlana and received payments through intermediaries to ensure no paper trail.
Phahlane, who says the case was assigned by Deputy Judge President Aubrey Ledwaba, is on special leave as the investigation continues.
Questions remain about how she was assigned so soon after the alleged bribe, with reports suggesting court administrators may have played a role beyond the deputy judge president’s oversight.
The case has raised concerns about judicial integrity and transparency in South Africa’s legal system.
