I'm actually quite pleased with these results:
1). Although I'm no fan of Mbeki, I am a fan of the ANC.
2). Both the ANC and the DA have gained votes.
3). The NNP was decimated!!! :)
4). The IFP had a bad election :)
5). The ANC may have beaten the IFP in Kwa-Zulu Natal (fingers crossed)
6). Despite a certain outcome, turnout was far higher than most western countries.
7) 69% means that the ANC don't need to co-operate with smaller parties... hopefully moving government leftward.

Well...I think South Africa needs to readjust itself to a competitive party system, right now it isn't really working that well. But this was expected.

60% counted... ANC up to 70%

I prefer the DA to ANC, but I have no real problem with the ANC specifically. (Well, they could be a little less friendly to Arafat). But I do hope the DA broadens it's base to become a truly multiethnic party and becomes truly competitive in national elections. I son't like Mbeki, who is a liar and a bad one at that.
The NNP sounds awful, they got what they deserved. And Inkatha does no one any good either.

ANC lead in all provinces... but may not get overall majorities in Kwa Zulu-Natal and Western Cape.
