The application for the recusal of Transvaal Judge President Bernard Ngoepe from the rape trial of former deputy president Jacob Zuma was postponed to 2pm on Monday.

Zuma's legal team brought an application for Ngoepe to recuse himself from the rape trial based on Ngoepe's involvement in granting search warrants related to Zuma's separate corruption trial to be heard in Durban in June.

Ngoepe said he would announce his decision after 2pm.
