There was no need for apprehension once the term of the current SA government came to an end, president of the ANC Jacob Zuma said in Shanghai, China on Friday.
Zuma was addressing a meeting with the Communist Party of China (CPC).
The purpose of the meeting was to strengthen and revive ties between the ANC and CPC.
"There is one ANC. We will manage the transition as efficiently as we have always done in previous years."
'There has been no crisis at all' "We will next year hold our general elections, which should take place as efficiently and as smoothly as all previous ones since 1994, managed by our Electoral Commission," he said.

Zuma emphasised that there was no uneasiness between him and President Thabo Mbeki.
"We have established good working relations since the change of ANC leadership, and the party headquarters and government work well together.
"There has been no crisis at all. President Mbeki and I have worked together for many years and continue to do so, for the good of our country and its people," he added.
The ANC also expressed its condolences to China in the aftermath of the earthquake in the Sichuan province.
"We wish the Chinese people strength as you confront the trauma, loss of life and the devastation. We are one people, your pain is our pain, and your loss is our loss."
The meeting also covered the ANC'S interaction with the CPC over the years.
China supported liberation movements in a number of African countries and offered assistance in the arms struggle, said Zuma.
"As the ANC we will be investing a lot of effort in continental as well as South-to-South party political renewals.""
"Our visit to China is part of that mission, to revive relations, but also to learn from the CPC on its cadre development and party organisational work on the ground," said Zuma.
