This may be the latest in a series of legal blows to President Jacob Zuma but it is not yet time to celebrate for the opposition DA, which brought the case.
The NPA will have to decide if it wants to reinstate the charges. As the judge ruled the NPA's prosecution of this case has been heavily politicised - and it is not clear whether it will want to take on the president.
Mr Zuma, 74, may be under increasing pressure from opposition parties to step down but he is not going without a fight. In spite of the knock to his public image, he still has a place in the hearts of many in South Africa. The ruling ANC secured a huge victory in the 2014 election - many of the votes coming from rural South Africa where these court battles have little influence and Mr Zuma knows that.
An opposition attempt to impeach him earlier this month failed because they simply do not have the numbers. The president would take note only if voters rose up against him - local elections later this year will be the real indication of whether any ground has shifted. But until then, he and the ANC see these court battles as attempts by a few to force him from power undemocratically.
It was dubbed the "spy tapes" case after the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) dropped the charges in 2009.
The authority said new phone-tap evidence suggested political interference in the investigation.
'Mr Zuma should face the charges'
South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) said the High Court's ruling did not deal with the merits of any allegations against the president.
"The ANC has consistently supported the legal maxim that justice delayed is justice denied. This matter has dragged on for close to a decade and the ANC is pleased therefore that it now appears closer to resolution, seven years since the NPA decision," it said in a statement.
What are the spy tapes?

In 2009, NPA chief prosecutor Mokotedi Mpshe received phone-tap evidence from Mr Zuma's lawyers
He said the recordings suggested political interference in the investigation
The recordings were of conversations that Leonard McCarthy, a former head of an elite unit fighting organised crime, had with several people about the timing of the case against Mr Zuma
In 2014, the opposition DA won a court battle to access the sealed recordings and make them public
After listening to the recordings, the DA legal team believed there was nothing that warranted the charges being dropped
A High Court ruling in April 2016 says the 2009 decision was irrational and Mr Zuma should face charges.
Judge Aubrey Ledwaba said Mr Mpshe had "found himself under pressure" when he decided to discontinue the prosecution and "consequently made an irrational decision".
"Considering the situation in which he found himself, Mr Mpshe ignored the importance of the oath of office which commanded him to act independently and without fear and favour.
"It is thus our view that the envisaged prosecution against Mr Zuma was not tainted by the allegations against Mr McCarthy.
"Mr Zuma should face the charges as outlined in the indictment."
This is the latest legal setback for the South African president.
Last month, South Africa's highest court found that he had breached the constitution by failing to repay public money used to upgrade his private home.
It backed an earlier ruling by an anti-corruption body that said $23m (£15m) of public money had been improperly spent on Mr Zuma's rural home in Nkandla in KwaZulu-Natal province.

1999: largest-ever post-apartheid arms deal announced with contracts totalling 30bn rand ($5bn; £2.5bn) to modernise national defence force
Deal involved companies from Germany, Italy, Sweden, the UK, France and South Africa
Allegations of bribery over deal dogged governments of President Jacob Zuma and predecessor Thabo Mbeki

Found guilty of trying to solicit bribe from Thint, local subsidiary of French arms firm Thales, on behalf of Mr Zuma - then deputy president. Released on parole on health grounds after serving just over two years
Another official, Tony Yengeni, chairman of parliament's defence committee at time of deal and ANC chief whip, convicted of fraud in 2003. Also freed on parole after serving five months of four-year sentence
April 2016: commission of inquiry into deal found no further evidence of corruption or fraud.
Joshua has a 100% knockout record in his 16 professional fights
IBF heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua will make the first defence of his title on 25 June against American Dominic Breazeale at London's O2 Arena.
Breazeale, 30, has won all 17 of his professional fights, with 15 knockouts.
"I am looking to get past Breazeale in style and continue moving towards the unification fight everybody is waiting for," said undefeated Joshua.
Breazeale, who stands an inch above Joshua at 6ft 7in, is a former Olympian and ranked 13th in the IBF rankings, below British pair Derek Chisora and David Haye.
British super-middleweights George Groves and Martin Murray will fight on the undercard in an eliminator bout for the WBA crown.
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn had said his fighter's next bout was due to take place on 9 July at Wembley, but the plan was changed when Tyson Fury - the WBA, IBO and WBO heavyweight champion - announced his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko would take place on the same date in Manchester.

A former US senator will get remarried this week - to someone of a different sex from his first spouse.
Harris Wofford, 90, wrote an opinion article in the New York Times voicing strong support for same-sex marriage.
He said he felt lucky to live at a time when marriage had been "strengthened" in this way.
Mr Wofford said his life was "a story of two great loves" - with his wife Clare, who died of leukaemia in 1996, and with Matthew Charlton, 40.
He wrote: " I don't categorise myself based on the gender of those I love. I had a half-century of marriage with a wonderful woman, and now am lucky for a second time to have found happiness."
In June 2015, the US Supreme Court struck down same-sex marriage bans in individual states, making gay and lesbian marriages legal across the country.
Clare was a strong influence through Mr Wofford's political career. The couple had three children together.
Mr Wofford, a Democrat, represented Pennsylvania in the US Senate between 1991 and 1995.
He started his political life at the age of 18 by founding the Student Federalists, an organisation that promoted world federal government.
He went on to become instrumental in the civil rights movement and joined the presidential campaign of John F Kennedy.
Later, he worked with Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.
Five years after his wife's death, Mr Wofford met Mr Charlton.
'Based on love'
Mr Wofford wrote: "Seeking to change something as deeply ingrained in law and public opinion as the definition of marriage seemed impossible.
"I was wrong, and should not have been so pessimistic.
"I had seen firsthand - working and walking with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - that when the time was right, major change for civil rights came to pass in a single creative decade.
"At age 90, I am lucky to be in an era where the Supreme Court has strengthened what President Obama calls 'the dignity of marriage' by recognising that matrimony is not based on anyone's sexual nature, choices or dreams.

Bacteria from faeces have been found on ice that was served to an undercover researcher at a KFC restaurant.
The discovery was made by the BBC's Rip Off Britain, which was investigating food hygiene at branches of several big-name takeaways and coffee shops.
A scientist who examined the results told the programme the presence of the bacteria increased the risk of anyone who consumed the ice becoming ill.
KFC said it was extremely disappointed and had launched an investigation.
Dr Margarita Gomez Escalada, who studied the sample at Leeds Beckett University, told the programme: "We found high levels of bacteria in the ice.
"The presence of faecal coliform suggests that there's faecal contamination either on the water that made the ice, or the ice itself, and so it increases the risk of getting sick from consuming this ice."
Undercover researchers visited a branch of Costa in Loughborough, the Chicken Cottage in Hampstead, a Café Nero in Bath, and the Wimpy in Basildon, as well as the KFC at Martineau Place in Birmingham.
At each location, Rip Off Britain said its researchers asked for a cup of tap water with ice, as this can be an good indicator of standards behind the scenes.
Most of the samples that were taken turned up low and harmless levels of bacteria when tested, Rip Off Britain said.
The programme said that the KFC in question had temporarily closed for a deep clean following a zero hygiene rating only weeks before the sample was taken.
In a statement, KFC said it was undertaking "a retraining programme with all team members on our standards for touch point cleaning and procedures".
The restaurant chain added that it took "food safety and hygiene extremely seriously".
