JOHANNESBURG – Presidential spokesperson Khusela Diko and former Gauteng Health MEC Bandile Masuku will go through a preliminary hearing on Monday while the African National Congress (ANC) in the province subjects them to disciplinary proceedings.

The couple were indicted two weeks ago and Masuku has made those charges public.

He is accused of discrediting the ANC and failing to supervise while he was the province’s MEC of Health.
