African National Congress (ANC) president Jacob Zuma will address a post-election celebration party in Johannesburg on Thursday.

"Leaders from the ANC-SACP-Cosatu-Sanco alliance will also address the party," the ANC said in a statement.

It will be held in the Library Gardens, adjacent to ANC headquarters Chief Albert Luthuli House at 17:00.

"The ANC thanks millions of South Africans for casting their vote, giving the ANC a renewed mandate to deliver on key priorities outlined in the election manifesto.

"We would also thank young people for turning up in large numbers [at] the polls. The violence-free and peaceful election is an indication of the deepening of our constitutional democracy."

Members of the public were welcome to attend the celebration.

Motorists were advised that there would be official road closures from 13:00.

Sauer Street would be closed between Commissioner and Jeppe streets, as would President Street between Ntemi Piliso and
Harrison streets.

According to partial results from the Independent Electoral
Commission's results centre in Pretoria, by 11:30 the ANC had
3 391 904 votes, the Democratic Alliance 978 049 and the Congress of the People 428 760.
