MISLEADING MEDIA REPORTS ON TODAY’S CAUCUS MEETING

The Office of the ANC Chief Whip has noted inaccurate and misleading reports about today’s ANC Parliamentary Caucus meeting. Whilst the ANC does not usually comment on caucus discussions because they are confidential internal matters of the ANC; we want to distance ourselves from reports that ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa reportedly told caucus that President Zuma will resign on Saturday, and that he will not be granted immunity.

These reports are false and the intension behind them is to negatively disturb the fruitful and constructive engagement between the between the President of the ANC and the President of the country around the question of transition. The ANC in Parliament respects the ongoing engagement and eagerly awaits its imminent conclusion.
