Court Dismisses Bid To Disclose Mapisa-nqakula Investigation Diary

The application to disclose the investigation diary of former National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakulas corruption case has been dismissed.

Presiding Judge Mokhine Mosopa said that Mapisa-Nqakula failed to prove her case in the Pretoria High Court.

Mapisa-Nqakulas defence lawyers argued that the disclosure of Section C of the docket could lead to her exoneration from the corruption case.

She faces 12 charges of corruption and one of money laundering during her tenure as Defense Minister.

Judge Mosopa delivered the judgment by stating that the applicant failed to demonstrate the risk of such impediments, in my considered view, and did not establish a prima facie fact indicating the relevance of disclosing the C-section of the police docket.
