ANC face tough challenge as South Africans go to polls

The governing African National Congress, ANC, is expected to be returned to office in South Africa’s parliamentary election.

However, ANC is likely to return with a reduced majority.

With almost 76 percent of district results declared, the ANC won 57 percent of the ballot, well ahead of the opposition Democratic Alliance on 22 percent.

The radical economic freedom fighters, EFF, is in third place with 10 percent based on the official results.

Some 6 million young people did not register to vote.

Full results are due on Saturday.
