The ANC's disciplinary committee will deliver its ruling in the matter involving youth league president Julius Malema today, the party said.
Malema was brought before the disciplinary committee this week on charges of bringing the African National Congress into disrepute and sowing divisions in ANC ranks.
Party spokesman Jackson Mthembu said that the disciplinary hearing was adjourned on Wednesday to give the committee time to decide on Malema's application for the charges to be dropped.
The charges followed after comments by Malema that the ANCYL would send a team to Botswana to consolidate local opposition parties and to help bring about regime change, as it believed the government there was "in full co-operation with imperialists" and undermining the "African agenda".
Charged with him are ANCYL spokesman Floyd Shivambu, deputy president Ronald Lamola, treasurer general Pule Mabe, secretary general Sindiso Magaqa and deputy secretary general Kenetswe Masenogi.
All except Shivambu would appear before the committee on Friday, said Mthembu. His disciplinary hearing had been postponed to a later date.
On Tuesday, groups of youths purportedly supporting Malema and his four colleagues threw rocks, bottles and bricks at journalists and police in the Johannesburg CBD.
The violence subsided after Malema addressed them.
Only a small number of supporters marched in the streets around the ANC's Luthuli House headquarters on Wednesday.
Metro police spokesman Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said a handful of supporters had gathered outside Luthuli House early on Friday morning.
A decision had not yet been made on whether roads in the city centre would be closed on Friday, he said.
