Editor – FINALLY they removed ZMDC from the sanctions!
Yet back here in Zimbabwe there were people that were frothing on the mouth supporting assertions that sanctions were targeted at individuals.
Can someone come and show me ZMDC ‘individuals’, guilty of abusing human rights!
Sanctions are real and are a tool to effect regime change.
They removed ZMDC from sanctions list because they realised that their effort to make our economy scream has been futile, in fact they are the ones who lost out. They now want our diamonds but I will be the first person to criticise the Government if it gives any company from that side mining investment opportunities because ZMDC has been spared.
Never should they be considered until all other companies and individuals under sanctions are unconditionally freed.
We are not desperate they are the ones badly in need of our resources.
Thus we should not be made to feel that they are doing us a favour by coming to invest in the country.
We must continue to prioritise our all-weather friends that have stood by us through the bad times.
