Court reserves judgment on Mapisa-Nqakula’s bid to have corruption charges dismissed
The Pretoria High Court will deliver judgment on September 7 on former defence minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s application to be discharged on corruption and money-laundering charges.
The North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has postponed its ruling on a case brought by former Speaker of Parliament Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to have corruption charges against her dismissed. This decision follows extensive arguments presented by Mapisa-Nqakula's legal team and the State on Monday. Mapisa-Nqakula is currently facing 12 counts of corruption and one count of money laundering, all of which she denies.
She is accused of soliciting R4.5 million from a service provider while she served as the defence and military veterans minister between 2016 and 2019. Prosecutors claim that R2.1 million of this money was received in cash. The case will be back in court on September 7, 2026, where the judge will decide on Mapisa-Nqakula's application to have the charges dropped.
