Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is expected in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court today, after she handed herself over to police this morning.
South Africa’s Former National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula handed herself over to the authorities after facing the threat of arrest over graft charges.
“And by extension the people of South Africa. Parliament cannot be a refuge for some of the worst among us. Those entrusted to lead and represent South Africa must be up to the task. We have long called for this resignation when allegations of corruption and money laundering were levelled against her. We believe that anyone who holds this high office should be beyond reproach; and Ms Mapisa-Nqakula is not suited for it.
Meanwhile, Mapisa-Nqakula says her resignation as Speaker of Parliament is not an admission of guilt.
