There are no discussions under way to remove ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe, the party said in a statement on Monday. ANC spokesman Zizi Kodwa said reports citing nameless sources who claimed that the special national executive committee (NEC) meeting currently under way was discussing removing Mantashe from his post, were incorrect. Kodwa took the extraordinary step to quash the rumours by issuing a statement before the meeting concluded. This came as President Jacob Zuma’s backers took issue with the national working committee report delivered to the meeting on Saturday.
