The charges involve an alleged hand grenade murder attempt and conspiring to kill a lawyer.
Security is expected to be tight, as an Anti-Gang Unit member has also been drawn into the case.
The Blue Downs Regional Court will hear a bail application on Friday involving controversial businessman Nafiz Modack and several other co-accused.
Modack, an alleged underworld kingpin, faces a raft of charges, including alleged gang activity, being part of a hand grenade plot against slain Anti-Gang Unit (AGU) detective Charl Kinnear, and a shooting at the home of Cape Town lawyer, William Booth.
For security purposes, Modack and his co-accused were moved for one consolidated bail application.
They appeared under heavy security provided by the AGU.
AGU head Major-General Andre Lincoln sat in the public gallery to observe at the end of a dramatic week packed with appearances by Modack, regarded by some as a gang kingpin .

One of Lincoln s officers, Ashley Tabisher, is a co-accused in a corruption case with Modack and Elsie s River mom Amaal Jantjies involving an alleged R10 000 and a cellphone in exchange for telling Modack when the police were going to raid his house.
Police Minister Bheki Cele sat in court along with the police s top brass.
Modack s supporters stood outside the court and called out to him as he left.
As an armoured vehicle whisked businessman and philanthropist Nafiz Modack away from the Cape Town Magistrate s Court on Monday, some of his supporters called out: We love you Nafiz!
Modack is known as someone who provides meals for impoverished families in some Cape Town suburbs.
He appeared in the dock along with his co-accused, Jacques Cronje and Ricardo Morgan, while police officers lined the walls of the courtroom, bearing rifles and wearing bullet-proof vests.

Cape Town lawyer William Booth s house was scouted several times before three gangsters tried to kill him.
On one occasion, two of the gangsters got high in the bushes before the hit, but one fell into a hole and hurt his leg.
He had to go to Groote Schuur Hospital for treatment, annoying the prison gangster who ordered the hit.
The details of the attempted hit on Cape Town lawyer William Booth were released in an unexpected plea and sentencing agreement in the Cape Town Regional Court on Friday.
However, instead of a sleek coterie of assassins, the mission turned out to be almost impossible as the hitman fell into a hole in bushes near Booth s house after getting high during one of the attempts.

A witness in the murder investigation of the Anti-Gang Unit s Charl Kinnear compiled reports for the police to show the senior detective was being tracked.
The Bellville Regional Court heard that Bradley Goldblatt, whose house was raked with bullets in a drive-by shooting, also gave police updates on this before Kinnear was murdered.
Kilian s lawyer maintains that the evidence against the debt collector and former rugby player is circumstantial and that the real killer has not been caught.
A witness in the investigation into the murder of the Anti-Gang Unit s Charl Kinnear warned the police several times that he had found out that his client Zane Kilian was allegedly using ping bundles to track the location of the senior detective before he was killed, the Bellville Regional Court heard on Thursday.
