Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula denies allegations she took bribes over three years while defence minister
South African prosecutors said on Monday they intended to charge the parliamentary speaker with corruption, alleging she took $135,000 (£107,000) and a wig in bribes over a three-year period while she was defence minister.
Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, the speaker of the National Assembly, has not been arrested or charged. The prosecutors spoke at a court hearing over her claims that authorities hadn’t properly informed her of allegations or followed correct procedure.
The judge was expected to rule on a stay of arrest later on Monday.
A wig? What kind of wig? Tell us more about the wig?
Nobody cares about the $135000, I told you!
Yeah, theme’s rookie numbers when it comes to corruption. She’s not even good at negotiating proper bribes 🙄
Useful for camouflage to dodge the police when you get bribery charges

South African politicians have nothing on Romanian or German politicians. These are peanuts.
