The ANC’s top six will meet Tuesday night, hours after the Hawks obtained an arrest warrant for Secretary General Ace Magashule.
News24 has reliably known that the meeting began virtually at 20:00.
Two party experts have told News24 that President Cyril Ramaphosa convened the party’s top brass in the afternoon shortly after the news broke.

A third informant said Ramaphosa initially wanted to discuss Wednesday’s by-elections, but the Magashule issue “was meant to be discussed.”
Magashule met with his lawyers after the Hawks confirmed that he would appear in Bloemfontein Magistrates Court on Friday in connection with corruption in the R255 million asbestos deal.
Speaking to the media, Magashule maintained her innocence and insisted that she has nothing to worry about.
