The ANC has retained the Lesedi municipality after it received 50.43% of the votes in Monday’s local government elections.
The result means the ANC will get 13 council seats, the opposition DA will be allocated five and the EFF will get four seats.
“Lesedi municipality has 40 voting stations and all have been concluded. In Lesedi we are seeing the ANC leading the pack, followed by the DA,” said Tsipana. Tsipana said in Johannesburg, the IEC had processed 163 out of 867 voting stations. In Ekurhuleni 207 of the 643 stations had been processed and in Tshwane only 86 of the 778.
IEC provincial electoral officer Thabo Masemola said they were hoping to complete processing all the results by Wednesday.
