S.Africa’s Election Commission Declares ANC The Winner
South Africa’s election commission completed a vote count that confirms the ruling African National Congress as the winner but also shows the strengthening of prominent opposition groups, according to results Saturday.
The government said the election and its aftermath had gone smoothly, despite some scattered delays and disruptions, and an outbreak of street violence in a poor area of Johannesburg.
With all 22,000 voting districts counted, the African National Congress had 62.1 per cent of the vote, several percentage points lower than its result in 2009 elections, the election commission said on its website.

Malema type: Taliking too much with impolite arrogance does not translate into votes.
DA type: Being a ‘Provincial party’ can NEVER take you to the seat of power.
