Johannesburg - The appeal hearings of ANC Youth League president Julius Malema and his spokesperson Floyd Shivambu started in Johannesburg on Thursday.
African National Congress spokesperson Keith Khoza said the ANC's national disciplinary committee of appeal, which is chaired by Cyril Ramaphosa, was sitting at the party's headquarters at Luthuli House.
On Thursday, unnamed sources told the SABC that Malema's lawyers would not attend the proceedings because they had not received key documents relating to the national disciplinary committee's previous sitting.
This would allow Malema and Shivambu to ask for a postponement, the public broadcaster reported.
Khoza said he could not confirm the report
"They [the appeals committee] are still sitting... I don't know where the speculation is coming from," he said.
ANCYL spokesperson Magdalene Moonsamy said she could not comment on the appeal proceedings.
