A man accused of arranging his wife's killing on their honeymoon will appear in a South African court later.
Shrien Dewani, 34, is accused of ordering the murder of 28-year-old Anni, who was shot in the country in November 2010. He denies murder.
The Bristol businessman was extradited from the UK on Monday night after a three year legal battle against being sent back to the country.
Mr Dewani landed in Cape Town on a private plane shortly after 08:00 BST.
He is expected to appear at Western Cape High Court at 10:30 BST (11:30 local time).
The family of Swedish national Mrs Dewani welcomed the extradition. They are expected to attend the court hearing.

BBC's Andrew Plant reports from inside the court where Mr Dewani will be taken after landing in South Africa
A spokesman for the South Africa department of justice, Mthunzi Mhaga, confirmed it chartered a plane to transport Mr Dewani, a medical doctor, nurse and members of the South African police service and Interpol to South Africa.
He added that a private aircraft was chosen for security reasons and because of Mr Dewani's "peculiar medical condition" which needed to be monitored.
"The situation in a commercial fight had the potential to exacerbate it," he said.
"It was therefore paramount that his return to the country is hazard free in order to ensure that he eventually makes that court appearance without hindrance."
Psychiatric facilityMr Dewani and his wife were held at gunpoint while being driven in a taxi through Gugulethu township near Cape Town.
He was thrown from the car later that night and the body of Mrs Dewani was found the next day with a single gunshot wound to the neck.
It is understood Mr Dewani's legal team could apply for bail during his hearing.
If that is refused, he will be taken to the high-care wing of Valkenberg, a psychiatric facility, the BBC's Karen Schoonbee in Cape Town understands.
Mr Dewani is being compulsorily detained under the Mental Health Act after being diagnosed as suffering from severe depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
South African authorities have said that if Mr Dewani is not fit to stand trial within 18 months he would be returned to the UK.
Three men have already been convicted in connection with Mrs Dewani's death.
