Eastern Cape director of public prosecutions Barry Madolo will appeal against the judgment of the Gqeberha high court, which acquitted Nigerian televangelist Timothy Omotoso and two others.
The leader of the Jesus Dominion International Church (JDI) faced 63 charges with his co-accused and JDI members Lusanda Sulani and Zukiswa Sitho.
Last month the court said the cross-examination of the accused was poor and the state failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt.The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said on Tuesday the decision to appeal followed a thorough consideration of the matter by an internal team of experienced prosecutors and a legal opinion sourced from senior counsel.
