MDC slams ANC

    JOHANNESBURG

    The MDC on Wednesday accused South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) of having double standards in its support for President Robert Mugabe and his ruling ZANU-PF party.

    "The ANC's endorsement of ZANU-PF is counter productive. We would have hoped they would have done all in their power to back free and fair elections," MDC leader, Morgan Tsvangirai said.

    "To publicly comment that there is no violence and that the figures that are being put forward are erroneous I think is just not taking reality into consideration. They are undermining their credibility," Tsvangirai said.
