Mapisa-Nqakula Health Delay Sparks Legal Shift | Johannesburg News
from Johannesburg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Former National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula missed court again due to health issues, with her legal team submitting a medical report citing illness—marking the second consecutive day her appearance was postponed. Facing 12 corruption and 1 money laundering charge, she insists on her innocence, particularly defending her U.S. trip in 2018 where she claimed government-covered expenses made her travel allowance sufficient. A key twist? The alleged money giver, Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu, has agreed to testify for the state, potentially reshaping the case. The court has adjourned proceedings until September 16, 2026, and issued an arrest warrant—currently held in abeyance pending her medical recovery.
