Former president Jacob Zuma is to appear in the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Durban on Friday on charges of corruption, racketeering and money-laundering.
The charges relate to the controversial arms deal of the late 1990s.
The National Prosecuting Authority announced in March that Zuma would face 16 charges – 12 of fraud, one of racketeering, two of corruption and one of money-laundering.
He had initially escaped prosecution, although his financial adviser Schabir Shaik was jailed for corruption in the arms procurement, and Zuma was fired as deputy president.
Zuma’s supporters held a vigil on Thursday night.
