Eyewitness News understands that Zuma survived the motion of no confidence tabled against him after it dominated this weekend’s NEC gathering.
The meeting followed growing calls for the president to step down after his controversial Cabinet reshuffle in April which resulted in two ratings agencies downgrading the country to junk status.
The ANC is expected to announce the outcome of its NEC meeting at a briefing later on Monday.
The debate on the motion of no confidence in Zuma is being described by some NEC members as tense.
