Johannesburg - ANC president Jacob Zuma was on Friday served with papers to appear in court to face corruption charges, his lawyer told AFP.

"Today, 28 December 2007, the Directorate of Special Operations (Scorpions) served on Mr Jacob Zuma an indictment to stand trial in the High Court on various counts of racketeering, money laundering, corruption and fraud," Zuma's attorney Michael Hulley said in an email to AFP.

"According to the indictment, which was served on Mr Zuma's Johannesburg residence in his absence, the trial is to proceed on 14 August 2008."

Zuma recently trounced President Thabo Mbeki in a bitter election contest to take over as leader of the ANC.
