National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson, Phindi Mjonondwane, said that Phumzile worked closely for Zinhle in the accounts department of her company, however, more details will be revealed as the case progresses.

See the employee, Phumzile Diko, captured during the court proceedings below:
“About the charges against me, I was in charge of the affairs of the complainant which included dealing with her business account . . . At all the multiple times relevant to the charge sheet, I deny fraud complainants and all transactions that were performed by me were at the instructions of the complainant”- Phumzile Diko/News24
According to Phumzile, the money was transferred from Zinhle's account to hers so she could perform day-to-day duties, as per Zinhle's instructions.
Advocate Gconge read:
“My intention is to plead not guilty and the state's case is very weak against me. I have not yet had sight of the content of the docket. Furthermore, I have the R3 000 should I be granted bail," Phumezile stated.
She was later granted R5 000 bail by the magistrate and needs to report to Randburg Police station twice a week on Mondays and Fridays.
Her next court appearance will be on 21 June 2022. More will be shared on this developing story when available.
