President Cyril Ramaphosa enjoyed a few rounds of golf on Friday ahead of the ANC's birthday celebrations and manifesto launch in KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday.
Ramaphosa played alongside paired players at the Mount Edgecombe Country Club Estate in Durban on Friday morning.
The 66-year-old said that he enjoyed the day's activities and jokingly praised himself for beating his opponents.
"It's a wonderful day with wonderful weather, and it's a very good premonition for tomorrow [Saturday]," he said.
The party expects the Moses Mabhida Stadium to be filled to capacity on the day of the celebrations.
It is said at least 1 300 buses will transport supporters to the venue.
