Mapisa-Nqakula has repeatedly denied the allegations.
The committee, co-chaired by Cyril Xaba and Mamagase Nchabeleng, said on Friday it was disappointed that a whistle-blower who initially made the allegations had “sent the committee from pillar to post trying to get to the bottom of the complaint”.
Mapisa-Nqakula’s election as the chamber’s speaker was under controversial circumstances, with virtually all opposition parties rejecting her nomination by the ANC. The parties argued she was not fit for the position, claiming she was prone to scandal.
In her maiden speech, Mapisa-Nqakula assured MPs that authority of parliament would not be “compromised for personal whims”.
