Episode Details

Former Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s corruption trial has been delayed as her legal team requests more time to review court transcripts before filing a motion to dismiss the case — a strategic move they can only make after the prosecution’s evidence is complete. Facing 12 counts of corruption and one of money laundering, including allegations of accepting R4.5 million in bribes from a defence contractor, Mapisa-Nqakula denies all charges. With the prosecution now finished presenting its case, the defense is preparing a critical discharge application, set to be argued next Thursday, August 20, 2026 — a pivotal moment in this high-profile legal battle.
