Johannesburg - Zimbabwe needs urgent and drastic assistance from the African Union and SADC leaders in order to have fair run-off elections, South African and Zimbabwean youth organisations said on Tuesday.

[The people of Zimbabwe] need change and they need it urgently," said Zimbabwe Youth Network co-ordinator Munjodzi Mutandiri.

"What is the SADC doing? What is the AU doing to make sure the people of Zimbabwe are getting what they need?"

The youth groups, including the Young Communist League, The SA Congress of Student Unions and the Zimbabwe National Student Union (Zinasu) called for May 23 to be the date for the run-off election with results to be released within 48 hours of polling.

Zinasu president Clever Bere said a peacekeeping forces from the AU should be deployed as well as a rigorous observer team to ensure the run-off would be free and fair.
