ANC national executive commitee member Fikile Mbalula, ANCYL president Julius Malema and Mpumalanga premier David Mabuza met in Standerton on Wednesday following recent service delivery protests.

"They are currently in the meeting. The meeting started late this morning," party spokesperson Brian Sokutu said. They would brief the media at 3pm.

Their visit followed another a trip to the area by Mbalula and fellow NEC member Malusi Gigaba last Thursday. They held long meetings with municipal and provincial officials, church organisations, community leaders and local party structures.

In recent weeks the Sakhile township in Standerton saw violent protests over complaints of corruption and bad service delivery. Residents demanded the resignation of the mayor and councillors.
