The knock on effects of the Fidentia case are far from over.

Businesswoman Danisa Baloyi has relinquished all her posts with companies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), she said through her spokesperson on Tuesday.

"Due to the sustained media attention on my person and now my qualifications, it is apparent that my contribution to the organisations I serve cannot continue in the positive spirit I originally intended."

Baloyi's move follows her removal last Tuesday from the board of the Absa Group and Absa Bank due to public disclosures related to irregularities at Fidentia.

She has also "stepped aside" as chancellor of the University of Fort Hare and director of Metrofile Holdings.

"I have ... decided to resign from all boards and positions that I hold in public and private organisations in order to dedicate all my energies to the challenges I face."

Although the Don Group said it had decided to retain Baloyi as director of the hotel group, she said she was withdrawing from all 16 companies, as well as the NGOs she served "until all matters relating to the alleged irregularities with respect to Fidentia have been resolved".
