At the four-star Reef Hotel in downtown Johannesburg, photographers waited patiently for the committee to come out of the meeting. They finally emerged just after 1pm for lunch in the hotel restaurant before re-convening.
ANCYL spokeswoman Magdalene Moonsamy said the meeting was "fine" but gave no other details.
Malema, who was recently referred to as the "chief commander of economic freedom", was found guilty of sowing division in the ANC and of bringing the organisation into disrepute.
Malema reportedly said on Wednesday he would remain in Seshego as long as people were trying to attack his home.
Shivambu was suspended from the ANC for three years for swearing at a journalist and for issuing a statement calling for a change of government in Botswana.
Malema, Shivambu and four other ANCYL leaders who were disciplined had two weeks to appeal against their sentences.
In a statement on Thursday, spokesman Floyd Shivambu extended the ANCYL's gratitude to everyone who had sent messages of support following Wednesday's decision by the ANC's national disciplinary committee to expel Malema.
He thanked members of the ANC and the league who "went to defend" Malema's house in Seshego, near Polokwane in Limpopo, from "rascals" on Wednesday night.
