It comes as opposition parties plan to dislodge it from power.

"The ANC is preparing itself to rule and govern on its own without any assistance from any other political party," Lesufi said.

"Our energy and our focus is to ensure that the ANC succeeds on its own and come 2024 we want to succeed on our own without any coalition."
