ANC shaken by South Africa election losses

The ruling African National Congress (ANC) vowed Friday to learn from bruising local election results that showed South African voters turning away from the party that led the anti-apartheid struggle. With the nationwide vote count almost complete, the ANC was ahead overall but recorded its worst electoral performance since white-minority rule fell 22 years ago. The party once headed by Nelson Mandela was on 54 percent of the vote -- sharply down from 62 percent in the last municipal elections in 2011.
