Johannesburg - Khusela Diko, the spokesperson for President Cyril Ramaphosa who was put on ice after her late husband, Inkosi Thandisizwe Diko, corruptly scored a Covid-19 PPE tender has challenged the ANC in Gauteng, saying she cannot be forced to step aside.
Through her lawyers, Diko said there is nowhere in the ANC constitution where it says senior members must disclose the business interests of their spouses. As such, the Povincial Disciplinary Committee (PDC) erred in finding her guilty and paving the path for her to be told to step aside.

Durban - Suspended presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko has hit back at the provincial executive committee (PEC) of the Gauteng ANC for saying she should step aside until the SIU (Special Investigating Unit) winds up its investigation over a dubious PPE tender.
In a statement issued by Diko’s lawyers on Wednesday morning, she said she was taken aback by media utterances by Jacob Khawe, the provincial secretary, that she should step aside after she was found guilty by the provincial disciplinary committee (PDC).
Diko was charged with “engaging in any unethical or immoral conduct… and behaving in a manner or making utterances which brings or could bring or has that potential to bring or as a consequence thereof brings ANC into disrepute”.
