Mapisa-Nqakula denies receiving R250k illicit cash payment
Mapisa-Nqakula is facing 12 counts of corruption and one of money laundering.
Former National Assembly Speaker and Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has denied receiving an illicit cash payment of R250,000 from military contractor Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu in 2018, denying 12 counts of corruption and money laundering. Mapisa-Nqakula claims she never received any gift from Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu, contradicting Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu's testimony that she handed over the money at a SANDF spousal forum.
The trial continues with the state questioning Mapisa-Nqakula's knowledge of Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu's letter regarding a previous overtime overpayment dispute.
