Mapisa-Nqakula to hand herself over to SAPS

Recently, Briefly News reported that Parliament’s speaker, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, is expected to hand herself over to the South African Police Service on 3 April after she lost her court battle to prevent her arrest.

She is being investigated for allegedly receiving R2.3 million in bribe money. Mapisa-Nqakula was expected to hand herself over at the Lyttleton Police Station two weeks ago after a case against her was opened.
