The far-left party EFF and the Umkhonto weSizwe (MK Party) of former President Jacob Zuma are close behind with 8%.
The final results are expected by the end of the weekend.
Opinion polls suggest that the ANC could lose its parliamentary majority for the first time in 30 years.
The ANC has lost support due to anger over high levels of corruption, crime, and unemployment.
But it is too early to predict the final outcome. Thursday’s election saw long queues of voters outside polling stations until midnight across the country.
