Parliament on Tuesday confirmed the NPA conducted a search and seizure at her home in connection with corruption allegations leveled against her during her tenure as defence minister..
CAPE TOWN - Parliament said that Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula fully cooperated with a five-hour-long search of her home by the National Prosecuting Authority on Tuesday.Mapisa-Nqakula said she was committed to serving the public with honour and strongly denied the claims that she'd received over R2 million from a defence contractor.
The claims were brought to Parliament’s joint standing committee on defence two years ago but an investigation was never carried out due to the anonymity of the source. But Parliament said that Mapisa-Nqakula had nothing to hide and welcomed the investigators into her home on Tuesday, which was searched for five hours.
