Mapisa-Nqakula Defends Wig Allegation | Johannesburg News

Former South African defense minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula fires back at explosive allegations that she accepted bribes disguised as a wig — a story spun by contractor Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu. Mapisa-Nqakula reveals the “wig” was actually a gift, not a bribe — offered after she casually mentioned liking one, and delivered in under five minutes at an airport VIP lounge before her flight to Ethiopia. She admits meeting Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu at her home once, but insists it was with a cousin, not her sister as claimed, and that no cash was exchanged. She denies being berated or involved in any corrupt dealings, calling the entire saga a misunderstanding fueled by coded language and personal drama.
