Jacob Zuma will stand trial
The man set to be South Africa's next President has been charged with corruption and will stand trial next year.
Jacob Zuma was elected leader of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) earlier this month.

However, he will face charges in a high court on August 14, 2008, his defence lawyer, Michael Hulley, said.

Prosecutors have been investigating allegations that the Zulu politician took bribes in connection with an arms deal.
His prosecution could split the ANC and derail his hopes of succeeding President Thabo Mbeki, who must step down in 2009.

He beat Mr Mbeki to the party leadership thanks in part to the current President's increasing unpopularity.

A former prisoner on Robben Island, Mr Zuma was acquitted of separate rape charges last year.

A controversial figure popular with trade unions and the Communist party, he rallies his supporters with a cry of "bring me my machine gun".
