Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The EFF said Mapisa-Nqakula’s attempt to interdict her arrest was a delaying tactic, which also interfered with police efficiently doing their job.<\/p>\n

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) said that instead of trying to interfere with justice, former Speaker of Parliament, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, should have resigned from Parliament immediately when corruption allegations were levelled against her.<\/p>\n

Mapisa-Nqakula stepped down on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

She is accused of receiving more than R4 million in kickbacks during her time as defence minister.<\/p>\n

The EFF said Mapisa-Nqakula’s attempt to interdict her arrest was a delaying tactic, which also interfered with police efficiently doing their job.The EFF’s Mzwanele Manyi also questioned her credibility.<\/p>\n

“Her track record as a Speaker is very disastrous. She presided over shielding Ramaphosa from Phala Phala. The whole secret ballot vote that would have dealt with Ramaphosa, she presented that.”<\/p>\n

The United Democratic Movement (UDM) also weighed in, saying she should have not wasted time by trying to delay her arrest.<\/p>\n
