A bomb scare at South Africa's African National Congress headquarters in Johannesburg caused an evacuation and a shutdown of nearby streets. (The ANC is South Africa's ruling party)

"The switchboard received the bomb scare at 8am this morning ... everyone in the building was then immediately evacuated," said ANC spokesperson Steyn Speed.

The police later declared Luthuli House safe following the bomb scare.

"Members of the bomb squad have declared the building safe, and work will continue as normal," said Speed.
