South Africa's ANC heads for worst-ever election via ReutersTV
PRETORIA - The African National Congress was headed for victory in South Africa’s election on Friday, although the party was on course for its worst performance since it took power 25 years ago.
Many of those voting on Wednesday for a new parliament and nine provincial legislatures had said they were frustrated by rampant corruption, high unemployment and racial inequalities that persist a generation after the end of white minority rule. ANC Deputy Secretary General Jessie Duarte said the party was “not unhappy” with the vote share it looked set to receive, which was in line with internal forecasts.
The partial results showed the ANC ahead in Gauteng province, where South Africa’s biggest city and commercial centre Johannesburg and the administrative capital Pretoria are located, but its lead was just below 50 percent. The DA’s share of the national vote so far was down slightly from the 22% it won in 2014, while the EFF gained from 6%.
