The Southern African Development Community (SADC) observer mission will not endorse a bogus election in Zimbabwe.

SADC representatives led by Angola’s
secretary of state in the External Relations Ministry‚ Tete Antonio‚ said after meeting
political parties in Harare at the weekend that they would not endorse a sham election as their
mandate was to witness democratic
processes.

Political instability in Lesotho‚ skirmishes in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
‚ Madagascar – where elections are due in November – and Zimbabwe’s military-
engineered removal of Robert Mugabe have cast
a bad light on the region in recent years.
