Hundreds of African National Congress supporters braved a wintry Johannesburg on Thursday night to celebrate the party's victory.

They roared in agreement with party leader Jacob Zuma who said he "smelt [a] 70%" victory.

"For those who do not know the ANC ... you touch the ANC, you touch a lion. The sangomas said the ANC will achieve a 50% victory in Limpopo. The ANC will never go below 60% ... I smell 70%," Zuma told the crowd.

Women with babies strapped to their backs, young people in ANC T-shirts and bikers on Harley Davidsons blew vuvuzelas, cheered and whistled as Zuma addressed them outside Luthuli House in downtown Johannesburg.
