Embattled ANC secretary-general Ace Magashule has consulted "extensively" with former president Jacob Zuma as the deadline looms for those facing charges to step-aside.
Magashule met with Zuma on Thursday at the latter's Nkandla homestead.
Addressing reporters following the meeting, Magashule denied widening the scope of ANC members who will be affected by the step-aside rule.
Magashule last week sent a letter to provincial secretaries instructing them to add the names of ANC members implicated in allegations of impropriety even if they have not been charged.
This despite the NEC agreeing that the rule will only affect those facing criminal charges in a court of law.
“I'm not widening anything. I'm talking about a conference resolution,” he said.
