DA chief whip Siviwe Gwarube says if National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula does not resign, she must be forced out of office.

CAPE TOWN - While National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula fights for her reputation in court, her deputy in Parliament says he’s giving careful consideration to a request from the Democratic Alliance for a motion of no confidence to be debated.

Gwarube tabled the motion last week and said she’s confident of the support from other opposition parties. Mapisa-Nqakula is trying to prevent her arrest on corruption charges linked to her tenure as defence minister following a raid on her home last week.
