Well, ANC won, and that was fully expected, but they did not get the two third of the vote they needed to be able to control the parliament. They came just short of it with 65.9% of the votes.
the ANC has been quite clear that it want to make changes to the constitution. The anti-ANC people were sure that if the ANC had two third of the votes and as a result control the parliament, they would right away change it so that ruling presidents could not be sued for corruption hence protecting Zuma from further possible trouble with the law. Now we will never know what they would have done.
Things are amazingly quiet. I know there was posters and the newspaper's headlines are about hte election but compare to the US elections, or even elcetions I remember in France from when Iw as a kid, this is nothing. Honestly you could be a tourist in South Africa and not have known that it was the presidential elections.
