NATIONAL NEWS - The High Court in Johannesburg is being evacuated due to an apparent bomb threat.
Earlier today, Czech fugitive Radovan Krejcir decided to legally represent himself when appeared in the High Court.
Officials increased security ahead of proceedings.
Krejcir made wide-ranging allegations against Judge Colin Lamont, saying the judge has been biased and unfair towards him from the very beginning.
Krejcir asked for time to get his psychologist, psychiatrist and social worker to testify ahead of sentencing. However, judge Lamont says proceedings must continue despite Krejcir wanting to call a criminologist, his social worker and a physiologist to testify.
He has been given until tomorrow to arrange witnesses and legal representation for sentencing arguments.
