Judge Portia Phahlane’s corruption trial delayed to July 2026 amid new evidence review.
The corruption case against Gauteng High Court Judge Portia Phahlane and IPHC leader Michael Sandlana has been delayed until July 2026 as prosecutors seek more time to review new evidence, including potential interviews with other judges.
The five accused, including Phahlane’s son and Sandlana’s spokesperson, face 19 charges related to alleged R2.4 million bribes in a church leadership dispute.
Phahlane, on special leave and barred from court, is under investigation by the Judicial Service Commission, which could lead to impeachment.
A warrant for the arrest of absent accused Desmond Mahapi Phuti was issued, citing illness.
Sandlana remains in custody, while others are on bail.
Defence lawyers criticized the delay, arguing it undermines the right to a speedy trial.
