TimesLIVE reports that Khusela Diko has been axed as President Cyril Ramaphosa's spokesperson, but will retain a position in the public service.
Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele announced on Tuesday that a disciplinary process against Diko had been completed for her failure to disclose her interests in certain companies, as required by public service regulations on the disclosure of financial interests. Following the process, Diko had been served with a written warning for this offence. Gungubele said in a statement: “The action taken by the presidency management was in compliance with a recommendation by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) that Ms Diko be disciplined for her failure to disclose certain interests. This recommendation arose from an SIU investigation into the government’s procurement of Covid-19 personal protective equipment.” Diko, who is on maternity leave, will return to a different position in the public service when she returns to work. Tyrone Seale will continue as Ramaphosa's acting spokesperson.
