The ANC has called a meeting between its top six leaders and former President Jacob Zuma “very positive and constructive.”

Party officials met Zuma in a virtual meeting after initial confusion over whether the meeting would take place at party headquarters.

The ANC NEC ruled in February that officials led by President Cyril Ramaphosa should involve Zuma in his decision to challenge the Constitutional Court’s decision that he should answer questions and cooperate with the commission of inquiry into the state’s capture.

In a statement, ANC spokesman Pule Mabe confirmed that the meeting took place on Monday.

“National Officials had very positive and constructive discussions with former President Jacob Zuma,” he said.

Mabe did not say what the result was or whether Zuma had agreed to cooperate with the commission.
