Polokwane - Newly-elected ANC leader Jacob Zuma pledged to work with his defeated rival President Thabo Mbeki on Thursday as he appealed for unity in the ruling party.

"There is likely to be anxiety regarding the existence of two presidents, one of state and the other of the party. There is no reason for uncertainty or fear in any quarter," Zuma told delegates at the end of the party's conference.

"Comrade Mbeki and I, both as members of the ANC first and foremost, will develop smooth working relations between government and the ruling party, assisted by the leadership collective."

After an acrimonious contest and conference, Mbeki said it was important that the party now move forward.

"The conference is now behind us and we will continue to work together to unite and build a stronger ANC," Zuma told delegates.
