Quick Glance: ANC's Support for Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula Indicates Lack of Seriousness in Anti-Corruption Efforts
  • The Speaker of the National Assembly, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, is facing pressure and receiving political support from the ANC despite facing arrest for alleged cash bribes during her tenure as Minister of Defence.

  • Mapisa-Nqakula has taken special leave and is attempting to prevent her arrest by demanding access to all investigation files, indicating a false assumption that she should receive special treatment.

  • Discussions regarding Mapisa-Nqakula's potential removal as Speaker are led politically, not legally, signaling that the ANC is not serious about combating corruption if they continue to show support for her.

  • The decision on whether Mapisa-Nqakula can remain as Speaker is seen as a political choice reflecting the values and principles of parties in Parliament, signaling whether the party is serious about rooting out corruption within its ranks.
