Reading Time: < 1 minute

The Democratic Alliance (DA) has called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to institute an urgent investigation into allegations that Defence and Military Veterans Minister, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula, wasted millions of taxpayers’ money on chartered flights and luxury accommodation.

The party says she must also be suspended without compensation pending the outcome of the investigation.

DA Shadow Defence Minister, Kobus Marais, says a dossier of evidence has been submitted to the Joint Standing Committee on Defence, detailing at least five instances where doubt can be cast over Mapisa-Nqakula’s actions.

He says this is in addition to evidence submitted before that she allegedly extorted more than R5 million from an SANDF service provider.
