Court shuts down Mapisa-Nqakula’s bid to dodge corruption charges
Mapisa-Nqakula is facing 12 counts of corruption and one of money laundering.
The High Court in Pretoria has dismissed former National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula's application to avoid corruption charges. The 12-count case against her includes allegations of receiving R4.5 million in bribes, with R2.1 million allegedly received in cash from a SANDF service provider between December 2016 and July 2019. Mapisa-Nqakula, who resigned from her positions in April 2024, maintains her innocence and plans to address the allegations when formally charged.
