Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula finds herself having to address allegations of malfeasance levelled against her.<\/p>\n

The Sunday Times reported at the weekend Mapisa-Nqakula is being investigated for allegedly having been paid millions in cash bribes by a South African National Defence Force contractor during her time as defence minister.The high-level investigation is probing accusations that Mapisa-Nqakula solicited and was paid up to R2.3m in cash, delivered in gift bags by defence industry businesswoman Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu, the wife of a general in the military health service.<\/p>\n

The investigation has been going on for six months and is at an advanced stage, with statements allegedly implicating the speaker having been put on record.<\/p>\n

Ntsondwa-Ndhlovu accused Mapisa-Nqakula of making demands for cash, initially through the late secretary of defence Sam Gulube and then directly, and said some discussions were conducted via text and WhatsApp.<\/p>\n

She alleged that between November 2016 and July 2019 she personally handed over more than R2.3m in cash on 10 different occasions.<\/p>\n

The two allegedly developed code words for the money, calling it \u201cwigs\u201d, \u201cimpepho\u201d (incense), \u201cimithi\u201d (medicine) and \u201csnuff\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mapisa-Nqakula is yet to confirm or deny the allegations and whether she is being investigated.<\/p>\n
