The ANC won’t be distracted by smaller parties as it prepares for an outright majority in the upcoming elections.

This is according to the president of the ANC, Cyril Ramaphosa, who was speaking at a memorial lecture for Peter Mokaba, a former president of ANC Youth League (ANCYL), in KwaNyamazane, Mbombela, on Thursday evening.

Ramaphosa told young people in the audience the smaller parties would not deter the party.
