Johannesburg - Southern African Community Development (SADC) and the African Union have been called upon to denounce the recently held run-off elections in Zimbabwe, labour federation Cosatu said on Saturday.
Spokesperson Jan Tsiane said the continental bodies should intervene in restoring democracy in Zimbabwe.
He was speaking shortly after Cosatu held a demonstration at the Beit Bridge border in protest against Robert Mugabe's government.
Tsiane said the demonstrations were held to show solidarity to Zimbabweans.
Meanwhile Tsiane said one man was arrested during the demonstrations but had later been released.
