The meeting that was supposed to have seen President Jacob Zuma and his ANC top five visit the party's provincial headquarters, Calata House, in King William's Town, has been postponed to next week.

Party national spokesman Zizi Kodwa told DispatchLIVE that the unavailability of some of the top six officials was the reason for the postponement.

“It was just a matter of diaries and availability of the people,” Kodwa said.

The meeting, which was supposed to take place today, was moved to October 29 and 30, said Kodwa.

Among the issues to be discussed was the disputed provincial elective conference about a month ago, where ANC members were hit with chairs leading to injuries - including broken arms and others receiving stitches.

The Dispatch reported last week that the team of the ANC national officials would meet leaders from regions on today.
