South Africa’s ruling African National Congress is on the brink of losing its majority for the first time after an election that has brought a drop in support for the party that led its country out of apartheid under Nelson Mandela.
They will lose their majority. Votes are 99% counted and the ANC is barely above 40% of the vote. The ANC have screwed themselves with rampant corruption and a failure to deliver government services reliably, the most obvious example being the rolling electricity blackouts (loadshedding) that South Africans regularly experience. Having no electricity for 8+ hours a day at worst due to government incompetence, corruption, and austerity is not workable.
