The Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture has made special arrangements to accommodate the large number of people expected when former president Jacob Zuma is due to attend proceedings from Monday until Friday.
The commission is also preparing tight security at the venue in Parktown, Johannesburg.
Due to limited space at the venue, the first 200 people would be allowed inside the venue on a first come first served basis.
Zuma had indicated that he would be present at the hearing, but stayed mum on whether or not he would be testifying.
He has been implicated in various testimonies at the Commission of overseeing mass looting of state funds during his nine-year reign before he was ousted in 2018 by the governing ANC.
