SACP chairperson Alex Mashilo said there were contentious issues on the table.


''The issue of corporate capture was part of our discussion and of course when the leaders meet, they will have to discuss that particular issue. 


"We will hear from the leaders when they issue their statement of the meeting, what they would have said,'' he said. 


This comes after KwaZulu-Natal's newly appointed MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, Themba Mthembu, has requested that his swearing-in ceremony be delayed. 


Mthembu, the SACP's KZN Provincial Secretary was not present at the office of the Premier in Durban Tuesday morning where the four other MECs were sworn in.


Premier Willies Mchunu congratulated the new members of the executive council on their appointments. 


Mchunu said he respected Mthembu's request for a delay and that there has been no change to the offer made.
