South Africa's police chief Jackie Selebi, facing corruption charges, will appear in court on February 1, prosecutors said on Thursday.

National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Tlali Tlali said Selebi would appear in the Randburg Magistrates Court. He gave no further details.

President Thabo Mbeki placed Selebi on extended leave on Saturday, a day after prosecutors said they would charge the police chief with corruption, fraud, money laundering and racketeering. Selebi denies any wrongdoing.

A copy of Selebi's indictment, made available to the media earlier by the NPA, includes allegations that he received payments from his friend Glen Agliotti, a convicted drug smuggler accused of playing a role in the 2005 murder of a South African mining magnate.

Selebi resigned as president of Interpol as he fights the allegations, the world police organisation said on Sunday.
