Ramaphosa confirms NEC meeting to finalise Zuma's future
ANC president, Cyril Ramaphosa says the ANC leadership will be finalising talks about President Jacob Zuma's future today.
"Our approach as we handle this transition will be meeting to discuss this very matter because our people want this matter to be finalised. The National Executive Committee will be doing precisely that," he says.
Ramaphosa has been speaking at the Nelson Mandela centenary celebration in Cape Town.
He says they need to tap into Madiba's values to find a solution to the party's leadership dilemma.
"It's about embracing the principles that Mandela had embraced - ridding our country of corruption and theft and all the negative things," he says.
