Updated | By Lauren Beukes
Former President, Jacob Zuma's application for a permanent stay of prosecution with costs was dismissed in the Pietermaritzburg High Court on Friday, through a unanimous decision by judges Jerome Mnguni, Esther Steyn and Thoba Poyo-Dlwati.
This means he is set to stand trial next week Tuesday.
Zuma is facing corruption charges for his involvement with French arms company, Thales.
