The Guardian worries about SA election due to political violence

By Felicity Duncan

The Guardian, a prominent UK newspaper, published a letter calling for Britain to send election observers to South Africa for next year's national election. Citing reports of rising political violence, Martin Plaut, a senior research fellow at the University of London, wrote, "It is vitally important that the international community, which did so much to support South Africa's democracy during the dark days of apartheid, acts without delay to ensure that next year's national election is free and fair."
