It is a private dinner for the president and [former] president Zuma and members of Cabinet and deputy ministers‚" said Ramaphosa’s spokesperson, Tyrone Seale.He also confirmed that Zuma had been invited to the occasion. Reports said last week that Zuma had failed to attend Ramaphosa’s maiden state of the nation address (Sona)‚ to which he had also been invited.
