Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, the Speaker of the South African Parliament, resigned amid a corruption probe into allegations that she received kickbacks totaling about $135,000 (R2.3 million) during her tenure as defense minister. Mapisa-Nqakula's resignation came after a failed court attempt to block her arrest over these allegations. Subsequently, South African prosecutors charged her with corruption and money laundering, and she was granted bail. This development is a significant blow to the governing African National Congress party, especially ahead of a national election. Mapisa-Nqakula has denied any wrongdoing.
