The African National Congress welcomes the announcement that a summit of SADC leaders is to be held to discuss the current situation in Zimbabwe.
The ANC hopes that the summit will contribute to a resolution of the problems arising from Zimbabwean elections held almost a fortnight ago, and that it will reinforce the SADC guidelines on free and fair elections.
The ANC calls on the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to release the results of the Presidential election as soon as possible. It further calls on all parties to address whatever concerns they may have through the appropriate legal channels.
