Former Speaker of the National Assembly Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is to appear in court today to possibly have her trial date set.
She stands accused of fraud and corruption while she was still Defence Minister.
In July, the case against the former National Assembly Speaker was transferred to the North Gauteng High Court for trial.
Mapisa-Nqakula faces 12 charges of corruption and one of money laundering for allegedly receiving kickbacks from a defence contract.
She handed herself over at Lyttelton police station in April after her failed court bid to interdict her pending arrest.
She is out on R50 000 bail.
