Brown says Zuma would send monitors to Zimbabwe

LONDON (Reuters) - The head of South Africa's ruling African National Congress supports sending 1,000 election monitors from his party to observe the vote in neighbouring Zimbabwe, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said on Wednesday.

Brown told parliament he had spoken on Sunday to ANC president Jacob Zuma, "and he supported the idea that there would be 1,000 monitors from the ANC party offered to Zimbabwe so that they too can play a part in the election."
