The African National Congress ANC first Deputy Secretary-General, Nomvula Mokonyane has urged the people of Mozambique to resolve their differences peacefully.
This follows elections in that country where the opposition has disputed the results.
The presidential candidate, Vanencio Mondlane, has called for widespread protests saying the ruling party rigged the elections.
Mokonyane, speaking to the SABC on the sidelines of the ANC Subcommittee on International Relations two-day meeting in Ekurhuleni on Gautengs East Rand, says the will of the people must be respected.
"The will of the people in Mozambique has to be respected as it has been respected in Botswana, as it should be respected in few days to come in the United States of America. We must call on the people of Mozambique and urge them to resolve their issues, not actually by going to the streets but strengthening and improving the institutions of democracy."
