"Any South African citizen, if he has charges against him, he must prove his innocence," Zuma told a conference in Johannesburg.
"I'm a South African citizen and as a citizen I want charges to be concluded."
The State was the only entity that knew whether or not it had a case against him.
"For seven years I've been investigated and I've appeared many times in court," he said.
He had always been ready to face charges but the State had not been prepared.
"It's the State that's in control here - and if the case comes up, I'm ready."
On Monday lawyers for Zuma filed papers with the Pietermaritzburg High Court arguing that his corruption trial should be declared invalid.
Zuma's lawyer Michael Hulley said the National Prosecuting Authority had been sent copies of the document and that the matter was expected to be heard in the Pietermaritzburg court on August 4 and 5. This would be ahead of the start of his corruption trial on August 14.
