NATIONAL NEWS - President Jacob Zuma is expected to meet with African National Congress (ANC) veterans, who have called for him to step down, today.
The president will be accompanied by the rest of the ANC’s top six.
The ruling party’s National Working Committee will this morning prepare how to approach the meeting and later meet with the stalwarts who have raised leadership concerns.
The veterans have also expressed concern over the ANC’s loss of support at this year’s polls and recent developments at the South African Revenue Service (Sars) and the National Treasury.
Meanwhile, political analysts say Zuma’s comments at the ANC cadres forum are an indication that he’s pushing back at what has been described as a regime change agenda.
At the weekend, the president took a swipe at his critics, political parties and civil society group Save SA, questioning their motives and claiming to have information that he would one day reveal.
