DG remains on special leave

Johannesburg - Communications department Director General
Rosey Sekese remains on special leave, the department said on Friday.
"The matter is being handled internally. Deputy
director general... Gift Buthelezi has been asked to continue acting as
director general of the department," spokesperson Siyabulela Qoza said.
Sekese was placed on special leave in January.
At the time, Qoza declined to give reasons.
In January, DA MP Marian Shinn said Sekese was put on special
leave because she had misled the portfolio committee about her performance
contract last year.
Shinn said the department had been
"dysfunctional" for decades and the forever-changing leadership
hampered its ability to focus on the country's key communications issues.
