The Indaba follows on the heels of the African National Congress (ANC) National Executive Committee meeting (NEC) which saw another bid to have Zuma removed as President.
It is believed that party leader Joel Netshientzhe tabled a motion of no confidence against the president.
The motion was debated at the backdrop of damning reports by the City Press and the Sunday Times over emails that revealed the Gupta family's influence over South Africa's state of affairs.
ANC Secretary General Gwede Mantashe will brief the media this afternoon on the outcomes of this weekend's NEC meeting.
