South Africa's Zama does not see free Zimbabwe run-off
PRETORIA (Reuters) - The president of South Africa's ruling ANC said on Wednesday he does not think Zimbabwe's run-off presidential poll next week will be free.
"I don't think so," Zama said when asked by Reuters whether the run-off would be fair. "I think we'll be lucky if we have a free election."
Zimbabweans will vote in a second round presidential poll on June 27, after opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader Morgan Tsvangirai beat Mugabe but failed to get an outright majority in the March 29 election.
