INTERVIEW: South African Minister for Public Enterprises on ANC party losing majority for the first time

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing calls to resign as he comes to terms with his African National Congress party losing its majority for the first time. The ANC, which led the fight to free South Africa from apartheid 30 years ago, won just 159 seats in the 400-member national assembly - a vote share of just over 40%. The result represents a seismic shift in the country's politics, with the ANC forced into coaliton talks. SBS' Janice Peterson spoke with Pravin Gordhan- the current Minister for Public Enterprises - who is now retiring from politics.
