Former Speaker of the National Assembly, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula apprears in court.
The application to disclose the investigation diary of former National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula’s corruption case has been dismissed.
Presiding Judge Mokhine Mosopa said that Mapisa-Nqakula failed to prove her case in the Pretoria High Court.
Mapisa-Nqakula’s defence lawyers argued that the disclosure of Section C of the docket could lead to her exoneration from the corruption case.
She faces 12 charges of corruption and one of money laundering during her tenure as Defense Minister.
Judge Mosopa delivered the judgment by stating that ‘the applicant failed to demonstrate the risk of such impediments, in my considered view, and did not establish a prima facie fact indicating the relevance of disclosing the C-section of the police docket’.
A pre-trial date, before the formal trial has now been set for May 9, 2025.
