Voters dealt a blow to the African National Congress, angry at what they consider to be its failure to deal with a dire economy and poverty. Now, the party will have to engage in talks with rivals to form a coalition government.
So what concessions might it make? And what does a weakened ANC mean for politics in South Africa?
