ANC NEC member, Nomvula Makoyane said this week recent events, like the devastating fire in Parliament and an attack on the Constitutional Court building would feature in Rmaphosa's address on Saturday afternoon.
ANC deputy president, David Mabuza said the ruling party has the capacity to get rid of unwanted elements in it's ranks.
Mabuza was speaking to party members in Mankweng, Limpopo, on Friday ahead of the January 8 statement.
Mabuza admits that there are problems in the party but insists the ANC will never die.
“Some people are saying the ANC has got too many problems, the ANC will die, the ANC has got the power and the capacity to self-correct, we will correct ourselves and we will get rid of unwanted elements within our ranks,” he said.
