The party will begin discussions on South Africa’s diplomatic tensions with the United States and the adoption of the proposed national budget.

The ANC's sub-committee on economic transformation will brief the public on Saturday on the budget proposals and what it calls disinformation from right-wing forces.

ANC Secretary General Fikile Mbalula says the party will also focus on several organisational matters, including cases before its integrity commission.

"We will start with the political overview of the president, which will obviously deal with contemporary issues that are before us domestically and internationally. The president will touch on a whole other issue that you may deem necessary."

The party will hold media briefings throughout the day to update the public on the discussions behind closed doors.
