Messages congratulating newly elected Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe have started streaming in to the Country from several leaders across Africa and beyond.
South Africa's President Jacob Zuma was the first to send in his message saying Zimbabwe's vote was a "Successful Vote".

A statement from South Africa's Foreign Ministry, said, "President Zuma urges all political parties in Zimbabwe to accept the outcome of the elections as election observers reported it to be an expression of the will of the people,"
Robert Mugabe was on Saturday declared as the "dully" elected President of Zimbabwe for a Seventh consecutive term of office.
At the age of 89, Mugabe refused to bend to demands by the opposition and International bodies not to stand for another elective term in office saying Zimbabweans still "loved" him.
The Country's opposition has however rejected the outcome of the polls saying they were marred by vote rigging and hence described it as a "Sham".
Mugabe won the Vote with a 61% count.
