Johannesburg – The state has put an application before the High Court in Pretoria to have the rape trial of Archbishop Stephen Bafana Zondo on Camera.
Prosecutor Cornelia Harmzen told the court that her witnesses, who are rape victims, have expressed their fears of being shown on television while testifying about the details of the sexual violations they experienced at the hands of the bishop.
Zondo appeared in court on Monday. He is facing charges of rape, indecent assault and defeating the ends of justice.
Two out of his ten charges pertain to a child who was under the age of 10 year at the time when she was allegedly repeatedly raped by Zondo.
