Pretoria - South African President Thabo Mbeki urged all sides on Thursday to accept the official results of the Zimbabwean general election in his first reaction to the weekend polls.

"Hopefully everybody will accept these results," Mbeki told reporters in the capital Pretoria after talks with Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila.

"If indeed (Zimbabwean opposition leader Morgan) Tsvangirai has been elected (in the first round) that's fine and if there is a run-off that's fine. That is a matter we must await."

Mbeki was the chief mediator between Zimbabwe's governing Zanu-PF party of President Robert Mugabe and Tsvangirai's opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) in the build-up to the elections.
