The leader of South Africa's governing ANC party, Jacob Zuma, is due to appear in court in a new effort to have corruption charges against him dropped.
66-year-old Zuma hopes to remove the last obstacle in his way to becoming South Africa's next president. The former deputy president stands accused of corruption, fraud, racketeering and money-laundering over a controversial arms deal. Hundreds of his supporters held an overnight rally outside the court. Thousands more are expected to arrive at the court in Pietermaritzburg.
