Stage set for virtual showdown at ANC meeting─── 07:41 Sat, 08 May 2021
The stage is set for a virtual showdown of rival factions at this weekend's ANC NEC meeting, where Ace Magashule's fate will be sealed.
This weekend's ANC NEC meeting will discuss infighting, land expropriation, elections and the COVID-19 response.
But, it's the debate on Ace Magashule's suspension that's likely to see rival factions go head to head.
The ANC says the suspension will only be confirmed or rejected at the NEC.
ANC spokesperson Pule Mabe said the NEC will be receiving reports that will determine the way forward.
The party suspended Magashule, but Mabe says he's still a member of the ANC.
