Parliament has denied media reports that National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula has been arrested and was set to appear in the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Pretoria.
Hours after the speaker announced on Thursday that she was taking ‘special leave,’ from her position amid corruption allegations, she filed papers in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria challenging the manner in which a search and seizure warrant was obtained against her, as well as the operation itself.
Mapisa-Nqakula’s court papers request the disclosure of all material information relating to the case against her, including the entire docket, to prepare her defence. Additionally, the papers seek a court interdict to prevent an arrest, arguing that she should rather be summonsed to court.
