CAPE TOWN - In the wake of her imminent arrest National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has taken immediate special leave as the head of Parliament.
It’s alleged she received over R2 million in tender bribes from a contractor to the defence force while she was the defence minister. But she says despite the five-hour long search and seizure operation at her home this week, there’s been no formal notification neither to her nor her legal team of an arrest warrant having been issued.
