Musk on X called for EFF's leader, Julius Malema, to be declared an international criminal.
"We have achieved our mission: ... to bring the ANC below 50%. We want to humble the ANC," #Malema said. “We are going to negotiate w/the ANC" for a coalition deal, though that would not be quite enough for a majority w/o incl’g another party.
The #ANC won every previous election by a landslide since the 1994 vote that ended #WhiteMinorityRule, but over the last decade its support dwindled as the economy stagnated, unemployment rose & roads & power stations crumbled.
Vote tallying from Wed's poll was in its final stages on Sat, w/results from 99.53% of polling stations giving the #ANC 40.21%.
The main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance (DA), had 21.80%, uMkhonto we Sizwe (MK), a new party led by fmr president Jacob #Zuma, had 14.60%, while the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters ( #EFF), led by former ANC youth leader Julius #Malema, got 9.48%.
