WATCH | Parliament Speaker awaits judgment to block her arrest

JOHANNESBURG - The National Assembly Speaker will find out on Tuesday if her urgent court application to block her arrest has been successful or not.

Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula wants the court to order law enforcement authorities to summon her to court, rather than arresting her, on the preferred date of 3 April, when her lawyer Stephen May is available.

She is set to be charged with 12 counts of corruption for allegedly receiving gratifications,
amounting to just over R4.5 million.
