ANC loses majority after South Africa's general election
Party says it will not form coalition with any partners that call for Cyril Ramaphosa to step down

SOUTH AFRICA’S African National Congress (ANC) party will not consider any demands from possible coalition partners that President Cyril Ramaphosa step down, a top official said on Sunday.

This came after the ANC lost its 30-year-old majority after a stinging result in Wednesday’s election.

South Africa has now been plunged into a series of negotiations to form a national coalition government and to maintain stability.
