@dw.africa: South Africa's ruling African National Congress has described its performance in the local government elections as catastrophic. Party Secretary General Fikile Mbalula acknowledged that voters had humbled the ANC after preliminary results showed it securing just 30.89% of the vote, with most ballots counted. The Independent Electoral Commission is expected to announce the final results on Sunday. The outcome marks a significant setback for the party, raising questions about its political future and support among South African voters. #dwafricasocialmedia #southafrica #anc #pretoria
