Former National Assembly speaker, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula will be back in the High Court in Pretoria this morning.
Her corruption case was postponed in January after the state succumbed to the demand of the defence, to disclose two sections of the docket of the accused.
Mapisa-Nqakula is facing 12 counts of corruption and one of money laundering for allegedly extorting a R4.5 million bribe from a contractor while she was Defence Minister.
Earlier this year, her defence and the State agreed to have a round table discussion after an agreement was reached to disclose Sections B and C of her docket.
Section B and C deal with the correspondence and investigation diary.
Mapisa-Nqakula’s defence believes that the disclosure of the two Sections contains information that will vindicate her.
