Spy boss quits SSA
In 2016, Kudjoe quit the country's spy agency.
She took over as SSA director-general in 2013, following her time at the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (Dirco), where she held several senior positions.
Kudjoe also served as South Africa's ambassador to Sweden between 2002 and 2006, and Egypt from 2006 to 2010.
At the time of Kudjoe's departure, News24 reported that it came in the wake of some turbulent years at the SSA.
Her predecessor, Jeff Maqetuka, resigned in 2013 after four years in the job.
Maqetuka, Gibson Njenje, the former head of domestic intelligence, and Moe Shaik, the former head of foreign intelligence, reportedly resigned together, after being ordered to halt an investigation into the Gupta family.

Mapisa-Nqakula also thanked the outgoing Armscor board of directors for their service.
Steps are under way for the appointment of a new board of directors, she said.
The Castle of Good Hope was also given R3 million as relief during the national lockdown.
"(The department) responded generously and transferred relief funding of R3 million to the Castle, to enable it to sustain itself with the advent of loss of income from the national lockdown and to cover the staff's salaries and some of their operations.
"This will shore them up until the end of the current financial year," Mapisa-Nqakula said.
