The corruption trial of former defence and military veterans minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula was adjourned early on Wednesday after she fell ill while testifying at the Gauteng high court in Pretoria. According to Sowetan, the former minister became unwell on the witness stand, prompting proceedings to be halted, with a remark attributed to those present that 'she's just tired.' The trial, which centres on corruption allegations against Mapisa-Nqakula, was suspended to allow her to recover, with proceedings expected to resume once her health permits.
