# The High Court in Pretoria has authorised a warrant for the arrest of former Defence minister and National Assembly speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula after she failed to appear in court in her corruption and money-laundering case. Her lawyers say she remains unwell, but no medical certificate was provided. Mapisa-Nqakula stands accused of soliciting corrupt payments from contractor Nombasa Ntsondwa-Ndlovu between 2016 and 2019. The warrant will be held over until her next court appearance on November 11.
