President Cyril Ramaphosa postponed announcing changes to his executive on Thursday due to ill health.
News24 understands that he was meant to meet with ANC officials at midday on Thursday to finalise new appointments to his Cabinet, but the meeting was called off at the eleventh hour.
Two insiders who were close to discussions said that ANC officials were told that Ramaphosa had a cold and that the talks had been indefinitely called off. Ramaphosa is said to have been unwell since Monday, when he hosted Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni. Ramaphosa was due to meet ANC alliance partners to inform them of his final decision following weeks of consultation.
