Johannesburg - South African President Jacob Zuma postponed a special cabinet meeting on Friday to discuss the struggling economy.

He has now said the discussion will now take place next month.

“The special Cabinet meeting on the economy that was scheduled to take place today, December 18, 2015, in Pretoria has been postponed to take place after recess next month,” a Presidency statement said

The meeting was set to discuss the impact of the “global economic crisis” on the domestic economy and a growth plan Zuma presented in a State of the Nation address earlier in the year.
