Former National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s corruption and money laundering trial was interrupted today after she required medical attention while giving evidence in the Pretoria High Court. Her lawyer says she is suffering from fatigue after almost two months of court proceedings. Mapisa-Nqakula is facing 12 corruption charges and a count of money laundering, with the State alleging she received millions of rands from defence contractor Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu. She denies soliciting or receiving bribes.
