What kind of a coalition could the ANC form?: Political analyst

Vote counting is underway in South Africa's general election.
President Cyril Ramaphosa's African National Congress is facing its fiercest challenge in thirty years.
Soaring unemployment and rolling power cuts are among the main concerns for many voters.
Voting was extended in some areas due to a large turnout.

Al Jazeera’s Fahmida Miller is monitoring the latest developments at the results operation centre in the town of Midrand.

Political analyst Angelo Fick shares some thoughts with Al Jazeera as to possible outcomes for the formation of a new government.

“If the ANC score up where they are currently at 42 percent, they may need one very large party to push them over 50 percent and they may be working with the EFF or they may work with a coalition of smaller parties which I think will be more complicated to manage,” he said.

“If they score in the higher 40s, if they come in at just 47, 48 percent, they may only need two or three smaller parties that are breakaways from their own original stable, to get them over that and that might be helpful for them.

“If they’re scoring below 40 – which is really unanticipated – then the dynamic is widely open and we may seen them combine in ways that nobody would’ve foreseen and that they’ve all denied they would, and that might be the two biggest parties.

“Politics is a very strange business and we’ve seen coalitions happen between people before, particularly in South Africa, that you wouldn’t have thought would go together.”
