President Cyril Ramaphosa is embroiled in a multi-million-rand scandal linked to the theft of foreign currency on his Phala Phala farm in 2020.
Following a late-night meeting on Monday, party whips agreed to postpone the vote from 6 December to 13 December to allow all 400 Members of Parliament (MPs) to travel to Cape Town, and to meet in person.
The panel was appointed by parliamentary speaker Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula in September to probe whether the president has a case to answer to on the alleged cover-up of the Phala Phala farm burglary.
The president approached the apex court for it to set aside the panel's report on the theft of millions in foreign currency from his Phala Phala farm.
The ANC NEC already indicated that its caucus would reject the report, which the president is taking on judicial review.
