THE Presidency has "rejected" a DA call for a Parliamentary debate on the "growing list of State deals that have benefited President Jacob Zuma's family and friends".

"The President does not hold any personal or financial interest in any business or corporate entity," Zuma's spokesperson, Mac Maharaj, said in a statement.

"He makes his annual declaration of interests to the secretary of the cabinet. The declaration is designed to ensure that a conflict of interest does not arise in the performance of his executive office."

The financial interest the president had to disclose related directly to the president as well as to spouses and dependants.
