CORRUPTION TRIAL : Ex-defence minister Mapisa-Nqakula denies asking for R2m to promote general
Mapisa-Nqakula says she never asked Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu for money and told the court her husband was ‘unappointable’ for the position he wanted despite serving in the SANDF for almost three decades.
Former defence minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula denies requesting R2 million from businesswoman Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu in exchange for promoting her husband. Mapisa-Nqakula told Pretoria High Court that Major General Noel Ndhlovu, a senior military doctor with over 26 years of service, was "unappointable" due to investigations against him and his wife. She explained that other factors, such as his conduct being described as "mutinous," contributed to his not being promoted to Surgeon-General.
