NATIONAL NEWS - The African National Congress (ANC) and its veterans have put up a show of unity following what they say was a constructive meeting on the state of the organisation with the party saying it appreciates the advice from its senior members as it faces a difficult period.
Some struggle stalwarts met with members of the party's national working committee lead by President Jacob Zuma in Pretoria on Monday.
The aggrieved veterans had previously called on Zuma to step down and raised concerns over what they called the declining state of the party under his leadership.
Struggle stalwart Wally Serote says while the meeting was robust, candid and difficult at times it was positive.
“We listened to each other very carefully. We gave each other time to talk and say anything we wanted to say, as ANC members - all of us in that room.”
