The ANC is hoping Ace Magashule will apologise to the party by the end of the week.
Magashule is likely to face disciplinary action if he fails to apologise.
This is after Magashule sought to suspend President Cyril Ramaphosa.
ANC deputy secretary-general Jessie Duarte said the party hoped suspended secretary-general Ace Magashule would apologise for his defiance by the end of the week.
Duarte said the national executive committee (NEC) instructed Magashule to apologise to the ANC community and to South Africans.
Failure to do so, she said, would result in disciplinary action.
Briefing the media from the ANC s headquarters on Tuesday, Duarte said Magashule s letter of suspension to President Cyril Ramaphosa had to be retracted.

Duarte says they have a cash flow problem because the funders they once relied on have since stepped back. She says the party is not broke but is struggling financially. We have a cash flow problem, she says.
