Former President Jacob Zuma is upset because he thinks the election results in South Africa might not be fair. His party says there were problems with the voting. Zuma wants these issues fixed before the results are announced. His party, uMkhonto weSizwe, is now the third biggest political party in South Africa. The African National Congress, which has been in power since 1994, lost its majority in parliament for the first time. Zuma's party believes there was cheating in the election, but they haven't given many details. They say the voting system had some issues on Saturday. Zuma wants more time to look into these problems. He thinks rushing to announce the results could cause trouble. The electoral commission received 579 complaints about the election. They say they will check all of them before announcing the official results on Sunday. Zuma is worried that the election might not have been fair, and he wants to make sure everything is done properly.
