Embattled Speaker of the National Assembly Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has taken special leave amid a corruption probe.
Former Parliament Speaker Baleka Mbete has reportedly defended corruption-accused Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula., an affidavit filed by the owner of Umkhombe Marine Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu revealed that Mapisa-Nqakula received cash bribes delivered in gift bags from the company. This was between 2016 and 2019.
When the corruption allegations surfaced earlier this month, various opposition parties called for the Speaker to step down. However, Mapisa-Nqakula only took “special leave” after the NPA’s Investigating Directorate raided her home in Bruma, Johannesburg.
