Blade Nzimande only just makes cut after ANC sheds 71 National Assembly seats in election
South Africa’s immediate past science minister, Bonginkosi ‘Blade’ Nzimande, has squeaked through to secure a seat in parliament after the African National Congress’s backslide in the country’s elections.
The ANC only received 40.18 per cent of the votes cast on 29 May, a big drop from the 57.5 per cent it got in 2019. This translates to 159 seats in the National Assembly, down from 230 in 2019.
