POSTPONEMENT OF THE EXTENDED MEETING OF THE CABINET

Issued by: Office of the President

STATEMENT ON THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE EXTENDED MEETING OF THE CABINET

The Extended Meeting of the Cabinet which was scheduled for 24-26 January has been postponed. The postponement, which was requested by President Mandela, issues from the fact that the President will have two critical engagements on both the 25th and the 26th of January: an urgent meeting with King Zwelithini and a visit to Lesotho to attend the funeral of King Moshoeshoe II, respectively.

A full cabinet meeting will be held on Wednesday 24 January, and the urgent issues that were to be discussed at the Extended Meeting will be tabled at this and subsequent ordinary cabinet meetings.
