One of the accused will remain in custody.
A high court judge, her son and another accused individual have been released on bail.
Judge Portia Phahlane of the Gauteng High Court, her son Kagiso Phahlane, International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC) leader Michael Sandlana, and Vusi Ndala appeared in the Pretoria Serious Commercial Crimes Court on Wednesday, where they faced charges of corruption, fraud and money laundering.
Their appearance came a day after all four were arrested on Tuesday.

The charges relate to accusations of corruption involving a case over the IPHC’s leadership dispute, which Phahlane had overseen.
According to the allegations, Sandlana allegedly paid R2 million in bribes to Phahlane in an effort to secure a favourable judgment in that matter.
Only Phahlane, her son and Ndala were granted bail on Wednesday.
Sandlana will remain in custody.
This is a developing story.
