JOHANNESBURG, May 20 (Reuters) - South Africa's ruling African National Congress believed the Zimbabwean elections are discredited after the long delay in releasing results, the party's President Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday.

"It was unacceptable that the electoral commission should hold the results ... we are criticising the electoral commission. Those elections are discredited, that's our view, from the ANC point of view," he said in an interview with the BBC World Service. (Reporting by Gordon Bell)
