Former president Jacob Zuma’s corruption case is set to resume in December.
Zuma and French arms deal company Thales are charged with fraud, corruption, racketeering and money laundering linked to the controversial arms deal.
On Tuesday, the Pietermaritzburg High Court dismissed their application to have all charges against them dropped.

Judge Nkosinathi Chilli ruled that the matter would continue in December.
“This matter is adjourned to 4 December this year, 2025. The court will set aside two dates that is the 4th and 5th of December. Mr Zuma and Thales do not have to appear in court on that day.”
At the same time, Zuma has taken his fight to have State prosecutor Advocate Billy Downer removed from the case to the Supreme Court of Appeal.
In April, Justice Chilli dismissed Zuma’s application for Downer’s recusal.
