----------------- Languages Jackie Selebi resigned as head of Interpol last year

Mr Selebi, who was South Africa's first black police chief, was a close ally of former President Thabo Mbeki, a bitter rival to Mr Zuma.

Corruption charges against Mr Zuma were dropped shortly before he became president after elections in April. He said those were part of a plot against him by Mbeki allies.

Mr Selebi was a political appointee and had no previous experience of policing when he was appointed as police chief in 2000.

When the allegations of corruption first surfaced, opposition parties accused Mr Mbeki of protecting Mr Selebi.

His contract was extended even after he had been charged with corruption.

The case has now been adjourned until Tuesday.
