ANC retains KwaZulu-Natal but with a lower majority
As South Africans await the results of the national and provincial government elections, we take you through everything you need to know.
The ANC has retained KwaZulu-Natal, its stronghold, following the elections, but with a significantly reduced majority, securing 54.22% of the vote.
The party fell just over 10 percentage points from the 64.52% it received in 2014.
The province is former president Jacob Zuma's home province and was highly divided in the run-up to the ANC's elective conference in 2017, where President Cyril Ramaphosa beat Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma for the head of the party.
Two months later, the ANC recalled Zuma, forcing him to resign as state president.
The IFP increased its support in KwaZulu-Natal in the 2019 elections, taking over as the official opposition in the province from the DA. Support lifted from 10.86% in 2014 to 16.34%.
The DA also grew slightly in the province from 12.76% in 2014 to 13.09% in 2019.
The biggest growth in KwaZulu-Natal was for the EFF, which went from 1.85% in 2014 to 9.71% in this key election.
The ANC also managed to hold control of the Eastern Cape, Limpopo and the Free State, but again with reduced majorities.
