Nigerian pastor, Timothy Omotoso will appear in the Port Elizabeth Magistrate’s Court on Friday for a new bail application.
He faces charges of human trafficking and sexual abuse after allegedly keeping under-age girls at his house in Durban.
The Jesus Dominion International Church leader was denied bail after his previous application.
While handing down judgement, presiding magistrate Thandeka Mashile said the nature and gravity of the offences permitted no bail.
She cited that Omotoso was in the country illegally, with false documents, and therefore could be a flight risk.
