Statement by Bantu Holomisa, UDM President
“The United Democratic Movement (UDM) welcomes the decision of the Pretoria High Court on the urgent application filed by National Assembly Speaker, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula.” Holomisa said as soon as the judgement was announced.
He said that: “We wrote to the Joint Standing Committee on Defence on 26 March 2021 about allegations that she received several payments totalling over R5 million between 2017 and 2019 from at least one company that had contracts with the South African National Defence Force when she served as Minister of Defence and Military Veterans.”
“I was told to take my accusations to the police. I did and here we are waiting for Mapisa-Nqakula to do the right thing.” Holomisa said.
“She must please spare us of this business of a motion of no confidence in the National Assembly Speaker. We are busy campaigning. Mapisa-Nqakula must present herself to SAPS finish and klaar!” Holomisa concluded.
