- Mapisa-Nqakula said she used cash because EFTs were difficult for her and some workers lacked bank accounts.
- The interior designer estimated the renovations at R1.6-million to R1.8-million; Mapisa-Nqakula disputed that figure.
- Her testimony was interrupted after she became ill during a court break on 9 September; her doctor will assess her return.
- She pleaded not guilty to 12 corruption and one money-laundering count; the State alleges she received about R4.55-million.
I am not an EFT person. Ever since they did away with cheques, I struggled.— Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula's testimony in the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria, explaining why she paid cash to renovation workers instead of using electronic transfers.
