The African National Congress, the party of late Nobel Prize winner Nelson Mandela, slumped to its worst-ever result in South Africa's municipal election. The voters blame the ANC for water and electricity shortages.
South Africa’s African National Congress recorded its weakest result in local elections, while remaining the country’s largest party, according to Xinhua and Africanews. The New Indian Express reported the ANC received 30.76 percent of the vote; Al Jazeera described its share as just over 30 percent. BBC News reported that President Cyril Ramaphosa said the party must respect voters’ verdict, while the reports do not give a single vote-share figure.
