High court rules Mapisa-Nqakula’s corruption trial proceeds
PTA High Court rules that former National Assembly speaker Mapisa-Nqakula's trail proceeds
The High Court in Pretoria has decided that former National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula's corruption trial will proceed, rejecting her request to have the charges against her dropped. Mapisa-Nqakula is being accused of accepting R4.5 million in bribes from a contractor in exchange for awarding military transport tenders while serving as Defence Minister from 2016 to 2019.
Judge Mashudu Munzhelele stated that the prosecution had provided enough evidence to warrant calling Mapisa-Nqakula to testify. The Gauteng High Court in Pretoria dismissed Mapisa-Nqakula's application to have her corruption and money-laundering case dismissed, allowing the trial to move forward.
