Judge Nkosinathi Chili has set it down as a holding date while he considers Thales' application to be acquitted on all charges due to the death of key witnesses in their case. 

Zuma's legal team has brought a similar application, saying their right to cross examine witnesses will also be affected. 

Zuma and Thales are facing charges of corruption, fraud, racketeering and money laundering stemming from SA's multi-billion-rand arms deal in 1999.
