Previous president Jacob Zuma will argue not liable to defilement, extortion, racketeering and tax evasion charges in the Pietermaritzburg high court on Wednesday. Nonetheless, another deferment is on the cards.
The matter is required to be deferred for the National Prosecuting Authority to answer to Zuma's uncommon supplication requiring the recusal of state examiner advocate Billy Downer.
Zuma states that the lead examiner has "no title to indict", that his arraignment is political and that Downer has it in for him.
Wednesday's suspension will likewise permit Zuma's legitimate group to record appropriate documentation as it will be it accepted that the reports recorded seven days prior were deficient.
At the point when the procedures continue, Zuma should demonstrate to the court that Downer, who has gone through near 15 years attempting to carry him to book, isn't qualified for indict him.
Zuma's supplication is his most recent move to stop the indictment.
Previously, Zuma's protection group was blamed for embracing a "Stalingrad approach" by dispatching court applications to defer the beginning of the defilement preliminary while the state has consistently said it was prepared to continue.
In 2007, Zuma's then-advocate, Kemp J Kemp, told the Durban high court: "We have embraced a Stalingrad system because of this indictment ... we will battle [the state] in each road, in each house, and in each room. "
From that point forward, under guidance from Zuma's long-lasting lawyer Michael Hulley, his guard group has attempted each conceivable lawful road to keep him from being arraigned.
Zuma is blamed for getting a yearly pay off of R500,000 from French arms vendor Thales for assurance from an examination concerning the dubious arms bargain.
The supposed pay off was worked with by Schabir Shaik, who was Zuma's previous monetary consultant.
