The Durban Regional Court has heard that the 20 former members of the Durban's disbanded Organised Crime Unit face 71 charges, including 14 of murder.
Also on the provisional indictment are 14 counts of defeating the ends of justice, and 14 of unlawful possession of weapons and ammunition.
The court was packed for the bail hearings of the 20, who stand accused of being part of a hit squad.
One of them, captain Neville Eva, told the court he intended pleading not guilty to all the charges.
The 20 were arrested on Wednesday in a joint operation by the Hawks and the Independent Police Investigative Directorate.
