Public Protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane said on Friday that she would cooperate with the National Prosecuting Authority as it pursued charges of perjury against her.
Her spokesperson, Oupa Segalwe, has confirmed that she was served summons to appear earlier this week.
"As a law-abiding citizen, the Public Protector will cooperate and present herself to the court on 21 January 2021 as required and is confident that the court will clear her of any wrongdoing."
The perjury charges follow a High Court ruling on Mkhwebane's Bankorp report.
In that judgement, the court found she had been dishonest in her conduct surrounding the probe.
