The hearings are set to resume on Tuesday.


 


In a statement released by the commission on Friday, it said Zuma will be summoned to testify between January 27 and 31.


 


"On Tuesday the commission will hear an application that will be moved by the commission's legal team for an order authorising the acting secretary of the commission to issue a summons to the former President Jacob Zuma to appear from January 27."


 


In November Zuma did not attend his scheduled hearings due to illness.


 


The former statesman faces charges of fraud, corruption and money laundering relating to the multi-billion-rand arms deal.
