South African politician has been accused of taking a wig as bribe

[GEO.TV] South African prosecutors announced their intention on Monday to charge the parliamentary speaker with corruption, alleging that she accepted $135,000 (£107,000) and a wig in bribes during her tenure as defence minister over a span of three years.

Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, the present Speaker of the National Assembly, has not been yet been handed to the police or formally charged with the colonel Dlamini-Zuma issue.

During a trial hearing prosecutors put forward their allegations, which Mapisa-Nqakula challenged on the grounds that the enforcement staff failed to communicate the accusations to her in good time or to adhere to the rightful procedures.

To add to that, she was also accused of another bribe of amount $105 thousand but was not received. While mentioning one specific case of the papers, it is about Mapisa-Nqakula receiving $15,000 and wig inside the country's major international airport (January 2019).
