A night vigil was held for Julius Malema in Polokwane, ahead of his court appearance on Friday morning.
Malema and 4 business associates are scheduled to appear in the Magistrate's Court on charges of fraud and money laundering.
According to court papers, he is accused of making nearly R4m from corrupt activities.
He is out on R10 000 bail.
His business associates, Kagisho Dichabe, Lesiba Gwangwa, Helen Moreroa and Makgetsi Manthata, were granted bail of R40 000 each on the 25th of September.
Thursday night's vigil was organised by the ANC Youth League in Limpopo, despite the recent public spat between Malema and national league leader, Ronald Lamola.
