		</div><p>Former South African president Jacob Zuma will face trial on corruption charges after a court dismissed his application to halt the case for good.</p>
<p>Friday’s ruling means more scrutiny of a 1999 arms deal in which Zuma is accused of receiving bribes from French arms manufacturer Thales.</p>
<p>The charges were raised more than a decade ago but withdrawn, then reinstated after the national prosecuting authority announced there were sufficient grounds to bring Zuma to trial.</p>
<p>He was president from 2009 to 2018, when he was forced to resign by the ruling African National Congress party amid separate allegations of corruption.</p>
<p>Zuma’s legal team has argued his case has been prejudiced by long delays and that there has been political interference in his prosecution.</p>
<p>Zuma can appeal against Friday’s ruling.</p>
