President Jacob Zuma's wife Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma has come to an agreement with her domestic worker in a labour dispute

The agreement ends a dispute with Doris Ngobese who claimed she was unfairly dismissed by MaNtuli earlier this year, The Star reports.

The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration ordered MaNtuli in July to pay Ngobese R16,000 after she failed to attend a hearing.

Now MaNtuli's lawyer, Brett Purdon, has announced that both parties have come to an amicable agreement and that the matter has been settled.

Ilanga newspaper reported earlier this year that Ngobese had been employed last August but that a dispute arose after she took sick leave and was not allowed back into the house.

But MaNtuli has said that she and Ngobese were friends and that she allowed her to live with her because she had no home. She claimed Ngobese was taking a chance to score to some money.
