Former president Jacob Zuma appeared at the Durban High Court on Friday morning.

He appeared on charges of corruption, money-laundering, fraud and racketeering for his alleged involvement in the so called arms deal.

The matter has been postponed to June 8.

Zuma’s supporters gathered in the streets of Durban, with some carrying #HandsOffZuma placards.

Media 24’s photographers captured the mood as it happened.
