President Jacob Zuma will launch the African National Congress’s election manifesto in Port Elizabeth tomorrow.

Few ANC branches in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape have broken ranks, saying that President Zuma should step down.

The President has come under fire for breaching the Constitution in his handling of the Nkandla matter.

In the 2011 municipal poll, the ANC got just under 52 percent of the vote to win control of the Eastern Cape Metro, but the Democratic Alliance's campaign is in full swing.

Meanwhile Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema says South Africa is suffering because the ANC believes it’s more important than the country.

The Democratic Alliance says it expects thousands of people to march to the Constitutional Court this morning to put more pressure on President Jacob Zuma to resign.

The DA claims President Zuma doesn’t care about the Constitution and the country’s citizens. 

The DA’s Mabine Seabe says the party expects as many as 10,000 supporters to join its leader, Mmusi Maimane, in a march to the Constitutional Court.
