A mitigation hearing for ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema and two other league members adjourned last night.
They were found guilty in November last year of bringing the ANC into disrepute and of sowing division in the party.
ANC spokesperson Keith Khoza said the hearings will continue on Thursday.
Six hours were set aside yesterday to allow Malema, his spokesman Floyd Shivambu, and the league's secretary general Sindiso Magaqa an opportunity to argue in mitigation of their suspension from the ruling party.
Earlier in the day, ANC national disciplinary committee chairman Derek Hanekom said the ruling party would also be allowed to argue its case during the hearing.
