Former president Jacob Zuma was expected to attend court in person on Tuesday for the latest chapter in his corruption trial, along with French arms company Thales, in the so-called "arms deal" case. Following his hospitalisation for undisclosed medical reasons on Friday, however, court proceedings were diverted to requesting a postponement on medical grounds.

Judge Piet Koen, presiding over the matter before the KwaZulu-Natal High Court in Pietermaritzburg, postponed the matter to 9 and 10 September. Koen also directed that the medical report from Zuma's doctors be submitted to the court by no later than 20 August.

Koen further directed that the State may appoint a doctor of its choice to examine Zuma to assess his ability to stand trial, and for that doctor to appear before the court to give evidence, if necessary.
