ANC spokeswoman Jessie Duarte said on Sunday she would not comment on the matter until the National Executive Committee finished its discussions.
"I can not comment on the matter until Monday afternoon when the NEC concludes its discussions. I will not talk about the press speculation," Duarte said.
The Sunday Times reported that the African National Congress national executive committee has decided to sack the Western Cape and Eastern Cape premiers with immediate effect.
The decision to axe Ebrahim Rasool and Nosimo Balindlela was taken at the party's tense NEC meeting in Gauteng this weekend as the ANC battles to contain chaos in its structures across the country ahead of next year's general elections, the Sunday Times said.
The Sunday Independent meanwhile reported that President Thabo Mbeki will hold a lekgotla at the end of the month.
