ANC either 'joyful' or 'concerned' about election results, depending on who you speak to
5 August 2016
Pretoria - With almost all the election results in on Friday morning, ANC spokespeople were contradicting each other over whether the local government polls had been a success.
ANC spokesperson Zizi Kodwa remained adamant that the ANC was "joyful" about their 54% overall support, but he was more cautious than the night before, when he described the party as "buoyant" and "energised" about the results.
Kodwa said it would be irresponsible of the ANC to make comments before all of the results were out.
By noon on Friday, more than 90% of the results were out.
