A statement released by the party early on T
uesday said a media briefing would be held at noon‚ but that was later pushed to 2pm.
The ANC said the postponement was to allow for the outcome of the NEC meeting to be communicated to party structures.
The NEC‚ the highest decision-making body of the ANC between conferences‚ met on Monday in Irene‚ Pretoria‚ to discuss President Jacob Zuma’s future.
Sources confirmed a decision had been taken at the meeting to recall Zuma.

It is understood that Zuma has resisted the NEC’s call for him to step down.
