National Assembly Speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula is facing a motion of no confidence due to corruption allegations, including claims of accepting bribes during her time as defence minister. The motion was proposed by DA chief whip Siviwe Gwarube and is supported by Mapisa-Nqakula’s deputy Lechesa Tsenoli. The specifics of the allegations will be detailed in the motion placed on the parliamentary order paper. This is the second time Mapisa-Nqakula has faced such a motion since becoming speaker in 2021. It's crucial to understand the grounds for impeachment and the potential consequences if the motion succeeds.

Attorney and Lecturer at the University of Johannesburg Law Clinic Elton Hart joins Lerato Mbele for the conversation.
