The Democratic Alliance (DA) has received 7 581 votes of the 9 857 cast from people who voted overseas.
The African National Congress (ANC) received 673 votes and the Congress of the People received 918.
Chief electoral officer Pansy Tlakula displayed the results on side panels at around 15:35.
She said around 17 000 South Africans had registered to vote and while only 9 857 votes in total were counted, the outcome was "fine".
"Well, remember, people had to travel far [to the voting stations]," she said.
