ANC denies calling for opening of arms deal probe

The ANC has established a seven member committee that will look at all the charges against Zuma

The ANC has refuted suggestions that it's calling for the opening of the arms deal probe. This relates to a request by the NEC for access to a report on the arms deal.

ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe says they have established a seven member committee that will look at all the charges against party President Jacob Zuma. He says this move will enable them to provide leadership with regard to the case against Zuma.

Meanwhile, the ANC's NEC has confirmed that party President Jacob Zuma will lead the movement's campaign for the 2009 elections.
