Zuma is reportedly the youngest of the president’s four daughters with his former wife Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, the current African Union Commission chairperson.
Thuthukile Zuma made headlines in 2014 when she reportedly landed herself the senior government job at the age of 25. The appointment was widely criticised.
The Mail & Guardian reported that Zuma earned almost R1m a year.
Media reports also revealed that it appeared the post was never advertised. Zuma had reportedly previously worked with Siyabonga Cwele at the State Security Agency.
