Mapisa-Nqakula Corruption Trial Set for July 2026

The Pretoria High Court has postponed the corruption case against former National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula to 20 July 2026 for trial.

The 68-year-old appeared in court on Thursday and told the judge through her lawyer that she is ready to go to trial. She has dropped plans to make further representations to the National Director of Public Prosecutions.

Mapisa-Nqakula faces 12 counts of corruption and money laundering. Prosecutors say she asked for and received bribes worth R4.5 million, including R2.1 million in cash, from a military contractor.

The alleged crimes happened while she was Minister of Defence and Military Veterans between 2016 and 2019.

The former Speaker, dressed in a black suit, showed no emotion as the new trial date was set. She remains out on R50 000 bail.

Chaos at Court as Shebe Maburna Fans Storm Building

Polokwane Magistrate’s Court turned into chaos on Thursday when hundreds of fans of popular Lekompo star Lehlogonolo Chauke, known as Shebeshxt, tried to force their way inside the courtroom.

The 28-year-old musician appeared for the second time on charges of attempted murder, malicious damage to property, and illegal possession of a firearm.

Supporters sang and pushed against court doors, causing a big disturbance. Police had to control the crowd outside.

Inside court, Chauke’s lawyer, Lot Ramusi, asked for more time to get important information. The case was postponed to 25 November for a bail hearing.

The state upgraded the charges from schedule 5 to the more serious schedule 6 because Chauke has other pending cases in another court. This means it will be harder for him to get bail.

NPA spokesperson Mashudu Malabi said the upgrade was necessary because of the serious nature of the charges and the musician’s other legal problems.

Shebeshxt stood quietly in the dock wearing a black jacket while his fans continued to shout support from outside.

[WATCH] EFF Criticizes Budget Plan

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) have spoken out against the recent Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement. Their leader, Julius Malema, says the plan does not address key issues like unemployment and policing in South Africa. He also worries that focusing on controlling inflation will make borrowing more expensive, hurting ordinary people.

Malema calls for better funding for the police and army, and he wants the Reserve Bank to be nationalized to better serve workers. The EFF believes the government lacks a clear strategy to tackle these problems.
