The Gqeberha High Court in the Eastern Cape has dismissed the National Prosecuting Authority's application for leave to appeal the acquittal of Televangelist, Timothy Omotoso. Omotoso and his co-accused, Lusanda Sulani and Zukiswa Sitho, were found not guilty in April on charges of rape and human trafficking. Judge Irma Schoeman cited the failure of the state to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt and slammed the conduct of the NPA in handling the case. The state contends Judge Schoeman erred in law when she found Omotoso and his co-accused not guilty.
