Omotoso set to leave South Africa
Controversial Nigerian televangelist Timothy Omotoso is voluntarily leaving South Africa today from OR Tambo International Airport.
This follows his release from custody pending an appeal against his classification as a prohibited person by Home Affairs.
Last month, an Eastern Cape high court acquitted Omotoso and two co-accused of over 30 charges, including human trafficking and rape, after an eight-year trial.
