The ruling African National Congress won South Africa’s general election with 58% of the vote. The party had never before received less than 60% at a national poll.

The ANC might have done worse but for Cyril Ramaphosa, who replaced Mr Zuma and vowed to clean up his mess. The Democratic Alliance got 21% of the vote.
