ANC loses majority for first time in 30 years
For the first time since universal suffrage in South Africa started in 1994, the African National Congress has lost their majority in parliament.
The ANC suffered a 17% loss in support since the last national election, mostly attributed to the rise of former president Jacob Zuma's MK party and voter disillusionment.
In order for the South African parliament to elect the next president it will be necessary to form a coalition government.
ANC Chairman Gwede Mantashe has said the party won’t comment on coalition talks until the final results are declared.
