"South Africa Faces Coalition Government as ANC Support Dwindles"
TL;DR Summary
South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) is on track to lose its majority for the first time since the end of apartheid, with initial election results showing it has less than 42% of the vote. This outcome may force the ANC to form a coalition government and could challenge President Cyril Ramaphosa's leadership. The Democratic Alliance and the new uMkhonto we Sizwe Party, founded by former president Jacob Zuma, also made significant gains. The final vote tally is expected on Saturday.
