Mapisa-Nqakula is facing corruption allegations during her tenure as Defence Minister. It is alleged that she solicited and received R2.3 million in bribes.
She resigned yesterday both as National Assembly Speaker and Member of Parliament.
Mapisa-Nqakula said in her resignation letter that her decision was not an admission of guilt regarding the corruption allegations against her.
The High Court in Pretoria recently struck off the roll her urgent application to interdict police from arresting her.
Last month, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) raided her Johannesburg home.
