"The only municipality where we were not number one is Mthonjaneni in King Cetshwayo, Big Five Hlabisa in Umkhanyakude, that side of Hluhluwe where the IFP president comes from and Ulundi."

He said their focus would be in areas where they performed well at the May general polls.

"But in the rest of the municipalities, uMkhonto we Sizwe was number one and then in Greater Kokstad and Mzimkulu as well, the ANC was number one and those are the only two where the ANC was number one in the province."
