Zungu says he believes he's got strong political credentials and is fit to contest.

"But is it my democratic right and my duty to be available to stand when I am nominated. The outcomes are determined elsewhere in the conference."
Zungu said he wants to see the party working together without political squabbles.
"Most of the branches and most ordinary members of the ANC in the province they want to see the ANC unify. If I was given a chance to lead the ANC in the province, I can assure you that will be priority number one."
