The application to disclose the investigation diary in the former National Assembly Speaker, Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula corruption case has been dismissed. Presiding Judge Mokhine Mosopa said that Mapisa-Nqakula failed to prove her case in the Pretoria High Court. Mapisa-Nqakula's defense lawyers argued that the disclosure of section C of the docket could lead to her exoneration from the corruption case.  She is facing 12 charges of corruption and one of money laundering during her tenure as Defense Minister.
