The Independent Electoral Commission is conducting a recount of several voting districts in the Khayelitsha Township in Cape Town.
This, after an election official failed to submit the results slips for a number of polling stations.
Analysts say the area is a traditional ANC stronghold in the city, but the results are not expected to have a significant impact on the DA’s overall majority lead for the metro.
Meanwhile,the African Christian Democratic Party, like many other small political parties, has not fared very well in this year’s local government elections.
The party says however that it has managed to hang on to its core membership base.
ACDP chairperson Jo-Ann Downs says they are satisfied with their performance in Limpopo and the Western Cape.
