The ANC says no party officials attended the Marikana rally held in Wonderkop, North West on Saturday.
Spokesperson, Zizi Kodwa says the ANC was not invited by organisers to the 2nd anniversary of the Marikana shooting in 2012.
The event was to commemorate the 34 people, mostly striking mineworkers, who were shot dead by police in clashes at Lonmin's platinum mine.
Kodwa says the ANC also did not attend the one-year commemoration last year.
The party released a statement on Saturday saying the day should be used to remember all those who were killed in the unrest.
Attending the event was Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema , Democratic Alliance Parliamentary leader Mmusi Maimane and Congress of the People leader Mosiuoa Lekota.
