Mapisa-Nqakula’s Trial Hits Pause | Johannesburg News
from Johannesburg News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Former defense minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s high-stakes corruption trial hit a dramatic pause yesterday as she collapsed on the witness stand, forcing an early adjournment. Testifying about alleged bribes totaling 4.5 million rand during her tenure from 2016 to 2019, she described cash payments for renovations and overseas travel allowances — often pocketing leftover funds. Her lawyer blamed exhaustion from the grueling, months-long proceedings. The court will resume tomorrow to determine if she can continue — and whether this health setback will derail justice or simply delay it.
