It got 40% of the vote, while the DA came second with 22%.
This paves the way for ANC leader Ramaphosa to remain president.

Imagine calling the Tories "...a brown lead party." A bit on the nose there, BBC.
-
Congrats SA from Namibia, leave party politics and pursue national unity
-
If you gonna call the DA “white led” then start using race for all minority led parties. Tories are “Indian led”

South Africa is,black,white, coloured,indian, And many other, Rainbow nation. This is what South Africa is and should be, No racism,no apartied, no corruption. If everyone can see past colour, Past mistakes we can achieve anything.
-
"white-led..." so do you call your prime minister's party "black/brown-led"?
-
Why do they have to describe the DA as white led. That is just annoying.
-
As South Africa, we must embrace this historic change in our country! This is another new South Africa!

D A is not pro white but pro South African.
-
That’s a low blow from the BBC. The DA party is multiracial
-
White-led? Bbc WTF? What is that about?

From Cape Town, I am cautiously optimistic but there is so much graft to clean up, it is going to take years to filter down the chain of government corruption.

Amen hallelujah hope there will come Unity God bless South Africa ❤ and all - around the world

Cyril Ramaphosa will be the last ANC president of SA
-
Why are we still talking about apartheid? Do we ever talk about historical moments of post-Nazi Germany? Or post-Imperial Japan? Or historical moments of post-Communist Eastern Bloc countries?
-
The biggest support for the DA comes from black voters as whites only makes up 7% of SA population. So it is not a whites only party .
-
O now you talk, what a joke DA is the most diverse party in South Africa!!!!!!!!!!! Go look at all the other parties and you will see that there is no diversity there.
-
I will embrace any government that aspires to be the best they can be.
-
