President Jacob Zuma has
congratulated the Robert Mugabe on his re-election
as president of Zimbabwe
In a statement issued
by International Relations today zuma said Wednesday's elections were
harmonised.
Zuma also urged all
political parties to accept the outcome of the elections.
The Democratic
Alliance said by congratulating Robert Mugabe on his stolen election,
President Zuma has failed Zimbabwe
DA Member of Parlaiment Ian Davidson
said President Zuma’s congratulations are not only extremely premature, given
the very serious irregularities that have been noted in the elections, but
shamefully legitimises undemocratic practices during elections, and sends a
message that significant irregularities will be tolerated by his
administration.
Davidson added that both observer
missions and civil society noted serious irregularities with the voters’ roll
and voting process. Parties were denied timely access to the roll and the roll
itself was clearly flawed. The DA’s observer also saw people being allowed to
vote with registration slips which opens up the process to abuse and fraud.
