Jackie Selebi's legal team will apply for Judge Meyer Joffe to remove himself from the corruption trial of the former national police commissioner and Interpol boss.
Defence lawyer Jaap Cilliers, told the judge he had the “unpleasant task” of applying for him to be removed.
He did not specify why he is making the request, but court reporters say Cilliers and Joffe have repeatedly quarreled.
The South Gauteng High Court is expected to make a ruling on the application next Thursday.
Selebi faces two counts of corruption and defeating the ends of justice.
