South Africa's ruling party leader Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday
(April 22) the delay in Zimbabwe's election results was
"unacceptable" and called on African leaders to move in to help
solve the post-poll deadlock.
    "It's not acceptable," Zuma told Reuters about the situation
in Zimbabwe. "It's not helping the Zimbabwean people who have gone out to
elect the kind of party and presidential
candidate they want, exercising their constitutional right."
    "I would imagine that the leaders in Africa should really move in
to unlock this logjam," Zuma said during a visit to Berlin.
    "Concretely this means African countries should identify some
people to go in there, probably talk to both parties, call them and ask them
what the problem is, as well as the electoral commission," Zuma said.
    Zimbabwe announced a delay on Sunday (April 20) in a partial recount of
votes in March 29 parliamentary elections, extending a deadlock in which the
opposition says 10 of its members have been killed and hundreds arrested.
