Johannesburg: Hundreds of supporters of South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) attended celebrations in the streets of Johannesburg on Sunday after the party's victory in the national elections.

The ANC was announced on Saturday as the winner with 57% of the vote which took place on May 8.

It was the party's worst performance in South Africa's six elections since 1994.

In a speech to the crowd, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa acknowledged the low turnout of 65% and said he wanted more of the party's 'people' to vote next time round.

He said that voting is 'when you make your voice heard' and he wanted more South Africans to be interested in their nation's affairs.
