The funeral service of Nkosi Madzikane Thandisizwe Diko II is expected to start soon. His body arrived this morning at his home, Elundzini Great Place in KwaBhaca.

His wife, presidential spokesperson who currently suspended Khusela Diko, was one of the family members who received the animal skin print casket carrying his body.

The controversial royal passed away at an East London last Sunday after falling ill, complaining of stomach pain.

The 43-year-old was thrust into the spotlight last year after details of a multimillion PPE tender allegedly issued to his company came to light. Diko passed away denying any wrongdoing.

His wife Khusela is still suspended in relation to the scandal and their family friend, former Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku also lost his job over his alleged involvement in the allocation of the controversial tender.
