News24 reports that labour federation Cosatu is holding what is seen as a crucial central executive committee (CEC) meeting where it is expected to take a decision on where it stands on the ANC's succession debate.  

"There are no two ways about it, we have to take a view on the succession debate, after [it] was deferred to this CEC.  The last CEC asked affiliates to go and consult," an affiliate leader commented.  Two affiliates, Nehawu and the CWU, have already come out publicly calling for President Jacob Zuma to step down.  The CEC starts on Monday and continues until Wednesday.
