ANC deputy secretary-general, Jesse Duarte says the party is united behind President Jacob Zuma and will not field another candidate for the presidency in the upcoming national election.
She made the remark at the launch of the ANC's Western Cape manifesto in Delft on the Cape Flats on Saturday.
Zuma had been scheduled to address the rally but was replaced as keynote speaker by Duarte, who said the president had other commitments.
She promised that he would visit the province another time.
The African National Congress has been battling rumours of discontent with Zuma's leadership for the past month, after he was loudly heckled by sections of the crowd at the memorial for former president Nelson Mandela in Soweto on December 10.
