EU confirms 160 election monitors

    JOHANNESBURG

    The European Union has said it will send 160 observers to monitor the election, confident that they will be able to carry out their job safely.

    In a statement on Tuesday, the EU’s executive commission said the observer team would be led by Pierre Schori, the former Swedish international development minister, now vice-president of the European Parliament’s Socialist group. The observers will be joined by 10 monitors from Norway, which is not a member of the EU.
