Johannesburg - Former national police commissioner Jackie Selebi will appeal his corruption conviction in November, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said on Friday.
NPA spokesperson Advocate Mthunzi Mhaga said Selebi's appeal would be held on November 2 and 3 at the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein.
"As prosecution we are confident that we'll successfully argue for his conviction to be confirmed," he said.
Selebi was sentenced to a 15-year jail term for corruption after accepting payments from convicted drug trafficker Glenn Agliotti.
He remains free pending the appeal.
Sentencing him in the South Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg, Judge Meyer Joffe called Selebi "an embarrassment" and "a liar" with "low moral fibre".
