The Western Cape is facing a number of hung municipalities with the final results to be known in the next two days.
The voter numbers are expected to be finalised on Wednesday.
The ANC in the province received a voter support of 35.35% from the Cederberg municipality while Langeberg’s support figure for the party stood at 25.1%. Provincial spokesperson Sifiso Mtsweni told Independent Media the party did not anticipate the above two municipalities and emphasised that things look positive for the ANC.In the Breede Valley, Mtsweni said the ANC claimed three wards and retained five other wards. “In Knysna, we won six wards out of 11, we have gained three wards compared to our 2016 results and we took the former DA stronghold of Hornlee.
“In Swellendam we retained ward 3, 5, 6 and won back ward 2. Four out of six wards are ANC,” he added. “We are still monitoring the outcomes but so far we can confirm that the DA is collapsing in many municipalities,” Mtsweni said.
