The debate in the ruling alliance over the National Planning Commission has been settled, ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe said on Sunday.
"In particular we agreed that there is a need for the NPC located in the Presidency, which will be chaired by the Minister in the Presidency for the NPC and whose main responsibility will be to
ensure an integrated strategic planning across government," Mantashe said, addressing a media briefing after a three-day alliance summit with partners the South African Communist Party, the Congress of South African Trade Unions and the South African National Civics Organisation.
"That debate is settled now," he said, flanked by Cosatu president Sdumo Dlamini and SACP general secretary Blade Nzimande.
