Phahlane's Plea Deal: R2m Bribe or 'Free Money for Judges' Scheme?

Meet Judge Portia Phahlane, the latest addition to South Africa's 'Who's Who in Corruption'.

Allegedly, she pocketed R2 million for 'favorable' rulings in the IPHC succession case. Phahlane claims it's a personal vendetta, while the State argues she accepted bribes. Meanwhile, she's been banned from the High Court premises. Because nothing says 'justice' like a judge accused of corruption.

In a not so shocking twist, Phahlane's bodyguards might've been paid by a company linked to the IPHC. Because who needs security when you can have corruption, right? Oh, South Africa!

Local really is lekker!
