Makana Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape could soon have a new administration after the ANC lost its outright majority in the municipal elections.
Preliminary figures show that the party secured just 10 of the municipality's 25 council seats, falling short of the 13 needed to govern alone and paving the way for coalition negotiations.
The Democratic Alliance (DA) came in second with six seats, while newcomer Makana United Civic Movement (MUCM) secured four seats.
