Hundreds of International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC) congregants have gathered outside the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Pretoria as their leader, Michael Sandlana makes his second appearance.
Sandlana faces 19 counts of corruption and money-laundering alongside his spokesperson, Vusi Ndala, Pretoria High Court Judge, Portia Phahlane and her son Kagiso.
