South Africans should expect a long wait as results votes from Wednesday's general elections continue to trickle in at the national results centre.
In analysing the ANC’s performance so far, political analyst Ralph Mathekga said if the ANC receives about 58% of the votes it could still be considered as a relatively good performance especially considering the troubles the party has been experiencing. For the EFF, Mathekga predicts the party will grow, but will not meet the double-digit numbers it was hoping to achieve.
With the voter turnover expected to be above 60%, Mathekga believes the poor turnout seems to be focused on ANC areas.
