JOHANNESBURG - Presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko could be fired from her post depending on the severity of the implications of her failure to declare her financial interests to her employer.
The Presidency issued a statement at the weekend, stating that although Diko had been cleared of wrongdoing over the personal protective equipment (PPE) scandal, the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) raised concerns over her undeclared financial interests.
President Cyril Ramaphosa’s suspended spokesperson, Khusela Diko, failed to disclose financial interests during her tenure in the presidency and now faces an internal disciplinary hearing, the presidency confirmed yesterday.
