South Africa’s Jacob Zuma Says May Take Action on Shiceka, Star Reports

South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma said allegations reported in the media that Sicelo Shiceka, minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs, misused public funds are “too serious,” Johannesburg’s Star newspaper reported.

“There will be no hesitation if these things that are being said are true,” he said in an interview with the newspaper. “Here there is going to be action.”

Vuyelwa Qinga, a spokeswoman for Shiceka, didn’t immediately respond to a message left on her mobile phone by Bloomberg.
