Religious leaders of the National Religious Leaders Council tried to mediate between the ANC and the EFF over the state-of-the-nation address in Parliament, the EFF said on Tuesday.
"We made it very clear to the religious leaders that the commitment of the EFF MPs to ask questions during the state-of-the-nation address (Sona) remains intact," the organisation said in a statement.
The party said it would ask President Jacob Zuma questions during the Sona because it did not believe that Zuma would come to be held accountable in Parliament.
Leader of the Rhema church, Ray McCauley, reportedly chaired the meetings which sought to prevent the interruption of Zuma by EFF MPs.
Zuma is due to deliver his state-of-the-nation speech in Parliament on Thursday.
