President-elect Jacob Zuma will have seven busy days before he assumes the country's highest post.

He will criss-cross the Eastern Cape and Western Cape before his inauguration as the country's fourth democratically-elected president on 9 May, said ANC spokesperson Brian Sokutu in a statement.

Zuma will attend the ANC's national executive committee meeting in Esselen Park, Gauteng on Thursday before jetting off to the Eastern Cape, where he was expected to speak at a Workers' Day event in East London on Friday.

On Saturday, he will attend a royal wedding at Riechnau Mission in Underberg. The following day he will be at a thanksgiving prayer service at the Bantu Church of Christ in Port Elizabeth, then at a thanksgiving rally and ward visit in Port Elizabeth.

He will be in Parliament on 5 and 6 May.
