Pretoria - The African National Congress on Thursday took an early lead as counting of national and provincial ballots continued in the early hours.
Inclement weather conditions affected temporary voting stations in the Free State and the Eastern Cape. Power cuts, which have become more commonplace in the country as Eskom grapples with financial and operational woes, plunged several voting stations in KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Gauteng into darkness with candles being lit to guide voters.
"Once the reconciliation is completed, the marked ballots are sorted into piles according to the party voted for. For ease of counting, the ballots are grouped together in batches of tens and hundreds," the IEC said.
