PRETORIA - A new witness in the corruption trial of Defence Minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula says she received an anonymous threat last week.
Moira Seape says the message accused her of helping IDAC investigators build what it called a non-existent case.
She is the one who introduced Mapisa-Nqakula to defence contractor Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndlovu.

Mapisa-Nqakula denies ever soliciting or accepting bribes from Ntsondwa-Ndlovu.
She, however, concedes that Ntsondwa-Ndlovu visited her home, but claims the visits were innocent.
The defence also rejected Ntsondwa-Ndlovu's claim that a request for a "wig" in November 2018 was a code word for money.
Seape told the court she arranged their meeting at the late Defence Secretary Sam Gulube's request, insisting nothing improper took place.
Seape also revealed she received an anonymous threat last week, accusing her of helping IDAC investigators build a "non-existent case" and warning her to be careful.
Two new witnesses are expected to take the stand on Friday.
