It is time the African National Congress clarifies the real nature of its relationship with Zimbabwe's ruling Zanu-PF, the Democratic Alliance's acting leader, Douglas Gibson, said in a statement on Sunday.
He was reacting to newspaper reports that ANC officials led by President Thabo Mbeki had met with leading Zanu-PF officials at the ANC's Johannesburg headquarters to forge closer political ties.

The ANC should tell South Africans how it was possible to have such a relationship with a government that:
had been criticised by an AU report for undemocratic practices and human rights abuses;
was carrying out what Zimbabwe's opposition described as "ethnic cleansing";
had destroyed the rule of law in Zimbabwe;
had introduced detention without trial; and
had closed down Zimbabwe's independent media and stopped the foreign media from operating.

The ANC was undermining the New Partnership for Africa's Development and destroying South Africa's reputation as a bastion of human rights by surreptitiously supporting Mugabe and his government and applauding their unacceptable conduct, said Gibson.
