The state in its papers said Mapisa-Nqakula doesn’t have a right not to be arrested and that they can’t 'be seen to be dictated to by a suspect on how and when to enroll her matter' as this would 'create a dangerous precedent'.
JOHANNESBURG - The State has hit back at National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s attempts to block her looming arrest, saying she has no rights in this regard.
While that application is pending, she’s now rushed to court with another application seeking to at least halt her arrest in the interim, which was set down for a hearing on Monday.
