Cosatu’s Bheki Ntshalintshali insists there must be a common understanding of the crisis facing the country.
The Sunday Times has reported that Jacob Zuma, Ace Magashule, Supra Mahumapelo and leaders of the ANC's Youth League and Women’s League held a secret meeting in Durban last week to discuss a plot to oust President Ramaphosa.
Cosatu is convinced that Jacob Zuma may be part of a grouping in the ANC which is undermining the current leadership.

Ntshalintshali has once again called for the removal of Jacob Zuma and has also described Cyril Ramaphosa as an ideal president.
