Former South African Parliament Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is in trouble.
She’s been accused of doing some bad stuff—like taking bribes—while she was the defense minister.
She says she’s innocent, but the court thinks differently.
She went to court after the police came to get her. They say they have a lot of evidence against her. Even though she says she didn’t do anything wrong, she decided to quit her job as Speaker.
The President says she did the right thing by quitting.
It’s a big deal because corruption is a big problem in South Africa, especially with the ruling party, the ANC. This scandal could hurt the ANC in the upcoming elections.
The ANC is trying to make things right, but it’s not easy.
