African National Congress president Jacob Zuma wrapped up a four-day visit to the Western Cape with a rally at the Langa stadium in Cape Town on Sunday afternoon.

Speaking in English and Zulu he exhorted the crowd of about two thousand, who had come to hear him speak, to make sure they turned out in large numbers at next years elections.

"It is more important than at any other time, given the political challenge the faces all of us," he said.

Zuma said the ANC "had taken resolutions that will need a bigger majority to implement".

In an apparent reference to the ANC breakaway party he again repeated that the organisation was faced with "political challenges".

The ANC leader arrived in the Western Cape on Thursday and had spent the past four days on a so-called "public engagement" which has seen him visit Mitchell's Plain and the winelands town of Paarl among others.
