Court shuts down Mapisa-Nqakula’s bid to dodge corruption charges

By GhanaSummary NewsroomSouth Africa

The High Court in Pretoria has dismissed former National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s application for a discharge under Section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Act.

This was after the Pretoria High Court dismissed her application to block her arrest for corruption allegations the previous month.

Mapisa-Nqakula resigned as National Assembly Speaker and Member of Parliament (MP) in April 2024 and handed herself over to the Lyttelton Police Station that same month.
