President Jacob Zuma has called a special cabinet meeting in Pretoria tomorrow.

Despite speculation that he may be planning a reshuffle his cabinet, cabinet spokesperson Themba Maseko insists that the focus of the meeting will be an economic growth path for the country.

Before Zuma announced tomorrow’s meeting, which takes place before the usual Wednesday meeting, he had one-on-one meetings with ministers.

Speculations are that the meeting is the result of Cosatu and the Communist Party’s unhappiness at the government's failure to develop a new economic plan.
