Mapisa-Nqakula Faces Corruption Trial | Johannesburg News

Former National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is back in court facing serious corruption charges, including money laundering, over alleged cash payments from a defense contractor. She denies all accusations, insisting she never took a single rand and questions how such large sums could have been handled discreetly during travel or delivered via airport wigs. She also refutes claims of receiving cash at her home and denies the contractor paid for renovations, though she admits to using a state allowance for security upgrades after threats to her life. The trial continues as she fights to clear her name amid intense scrutiny. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
