Cape Town - Former deputy president Jacob Zuma has been officially charged with rape, the National Prosecuting Authority confirmed on Tuesday.

Meanwhile 702 Eyewitness news confirmed with Zuma's lawyer Michael Hulley that Zuma had been charged. He appeared briefly in the Johannesburg magistrate's court. Zuma is expected to release a statement later on Tuesday.

A 31-year-old Aids activist has accused Zuma - who was dismissed as deputy president in June this year in connection with alleged corruption related to the arms deal - of raping her.

Zuma has repeatedly denied rape, arguing that they had consensual sex.
