The Democratic Alliance(DA) says it will do everything to ensure that the Zimbabwe Liberation Party ZANU-PF is barred from interfering and playing any role in observing the electoral process for the 29 May elections.
Zimbabwe’s ruling party will reportedly help the ANC bolster its campaign for the hotly-contested upcoming elections.

According to The Herald, Zanu-PF Secretary-General Dr Obert Mpofu said they have been in touch with the ANC.
The publication quoted Mpofu saying what’s happening in South Africa is an internal issue which they are closely monitoring.
“I cannot rule out the fact that we can go and assist if they need assistance from us. There are pressing issues that need to be addressed by South Africans on the political developments taking place there,” Mpofu said.
The DA said Zanu-PF has rigged Zimbabwe’s elections many times over; they will not do it here in South Africa.
The party said it would lodge an official complaint with the Electoral Commission (IEC) over this direct political interference in the election and the potential harm it could bring to the credibility of the outcome.
