The Zanu-PF National Chairman, Simon Khaya Moyo says he is optimistic that South Africa's ruling ANC party will win Wednesday election resoundingly.
South Africans go to the polls tomorrow in the 5th democratic election after the fall of apartheid in 1994.
Speaking in Harare on Tuesday, Khaya Moyo said after perusal of the ANC manifesto, he found a lot of similarities with the Zanu-PF manifesto which saw the party winning resoundingly in the July 2013 elections.
Zimbabwe has sent two delegations, one from government and another from Zanu-PF, to South Africa to observe the elections.
The Zanu-PF four-member delegation is led by Abigail Damasane who is deployed in Free State, Engineer Munacho Mutezo in the Eastern Cape, Anastasia Ndlovu in Western Cape and Retired Brigadier General Asher Tapfumaneyi in the North West province, which also covers the Mariakana mining area.
The other delegation comprises 17 members including senators and parliamentarians from the ruling party, Zanu-PF and opposition MDC-T.
Chief Fortune Charumbira is part of the delegation.
Damasane said her observer team has reaffirmed President Robert Mugabe's wish for a resounding victory to the ruling ANC party.
The Zimbabwean observers received a warm welcome from South Africans attending the Siyanqoba rally at FNB stadium.
Damasane said the election campaign in Mangaung, Free State where she was deployed is peaceful, adding the ANC put in a lot of ground work for the process with promotion materials and door-to-door campaigns.
She revealed the main election issues expressed in the province are poor service delivery and unemployment, which Mbaleka Mbete and Winnie Madikizela Mandela have promised the electorate in the province if re-elected into power.
Some 24 million voters have been registered to vote in Wednesday's elections where 27 parties will participate.
Special voting ends this Tuesday, while campaigning will be over by midnight.
