Durban - The ANC had won 14 municipalities in
KwaZulu-Natal by midday on Thursday and the IFP two.
Results from only 16 municipalities had been
finalised in the province by noon.
“We have audited results for the 16
municipalities so far and the ANC has won 14 of them,” said IEC provincial
chief Mawethu Mosery.
There are a total of 61 municipalities in
KwaZulu-Natal.
The Inkatha Freedom Party won the Mthonjaneni
municipality incorporating Melmoth town, and Hlabisa municipality.
Those won by the ANC include Richmond,
Ezinqoleni, Amajuba, Umzimkhulu, Kwa Sani, Danhauser, eMadlangeni, Newcastle,
Endumeni and Umvoti.
But the ANC does not have an outright
majority in Umvoti. It secured 10 seats compared to IFP's nine.
Mosery said the IEC hoped to have captured all
results in the province by 20:00 on Thursday.
