The Diko family is demanding an apology from Independent Newspapers. This follows a report in the Sunday Independent claiming that Thandisizwe Diko's company, Royal Bhaca Projects, benefitted from a Gauteng PPE tender. The report said the company had already had received a payment of R80-million from the Health Department. Presidential spokesperson, Khusela Diko, has taken a leave of absence to allow for a probe into the alleged tender irregularities. Bandile Masuku, Gauteng Health MEC is also on a month's leave due to the allegations. The family has given the newspaper 24 hours to issue a retraction, or face legal action. Meanwhile, Thandisizwe Diko, is also facing a separate challenge for using the title 'King'. King Ncapayi's grandchildren say a new king has not been selected after the passing of their grandfather.
