Following media reports that it’s Chief Operations Officer Jessie Duarte has resigned, the Presidency has slammed the allegations.

In a statement the Presidency says that Duarte has not resigned in fact she will be Acting Director-General this week in the absence of Vusi Mavimbela who is going to the United Kingdom as part of the president’s delegation.

On allegations that there is bad blood running between Duarte and head of Zuma’s private office Lakela Kaunda, the Presidency slammed the reports saying it vehemently rejects the reports of any conflict or tension between the two of them.

“They work well together and support each other positively and constructively. Any reports to the contrary are complete fabrications,” the statement said.
