Former ANC spin doctor Khusela Diko has been appointed as President Cyril Ramaphosa's spokeswoman after her resignation was announced yesterday by the party.

Presidency former acting spokesman Tyrone Seale announced in a statement that Diko will start her duties as the presidential spokeswoman on March 12. “Diko is a seasoned communicator and marketing professional who was, until recently, the governing party’s national communications manager, and acted as its spokesperson on many occasions,” Seale said.

It is not the first time Diko is serving in government communications. Seale said Diko served as a chief director of the Gauteng Provincial Government before joining the ANC. Diko serves in the highest decision-making structures of the ANC in Gauteng, Seale said, as a member of both the provincial executive committee and its working committee.

She holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree and is currently studying for a Bachelor of Law degree.
