The United States of America Monday announced it was adding four Zimbabwean people, including the son of President Emmerson Mnangagwa, to the sanctions list.
The U.S. Treasury Department also announced it was hitting two companies with penalties for their roles in undermining democracy and facilitating high-level corruption. 
Those sanctioned include <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Emmerson_Mnangagwa_Junior">Emmerson Mnangagwa, Jr</a>., who is said to have been in charge of his father’s business interests related to a prominent businessman <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Kudakwashe_Tagwirei">Kudakwashe Tagwirei</a> and his <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Sakunda_Holdings">Sakunda Holdings</a> company. 
The sanctions freeze any assets the targets may have in U.S. jurisdictions and bar Americans from doing business with them. In a statement seen by Pindua News, the Treasury said:
<blockquote>
We urge the Zimbabwean government to take meaningful steps towards creating a peaceful, prosperous, and politically vibrant Zimbabwe, and to address the root causes of many of Zimbabwe’s ills: corrupt elites and their abuse of the country’s institutions for their personal benefit.
The goal of sanctions is behaviour change. 
Today’s actions demonstrate our support for a transparent and prosperous Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
In addition to Mnangagwa, Monday’s sanctions target Tagwirei’s wife, Sandra Mpunga; Nqobile Magwizi, and Obey Chimuka, along with the two companies, Fossil Agro and Fossil Contracting. 
All of them are connected to Tagwirei and Sakunda Holdings. 
The Treasury Department added that the sanctions demonstrate the United States’ continued commitment to act in support of a transparent and prosperous Zimbabwe.  
It also said that U.S. sanctions do not target the Zimbabwean people, the country of Zimbabwe, or Zimbabwe’s banking sector.

USA Adds President Mnangagwa's Son On Sanctions List

Former opposition Member of Parliament for Masvingo Urban, Tongai Matutu, has published a long list of prominent opposition politicians he claims were at the forefront of inviting “hurtful” sanctions on Zimbabwe.
The list is published a week after Matutu had claimed that the then-vibrant Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) crafted sanctions fully conscious they would hurt ordinary Zimbabweans.
Posting on his Twitter handle at the weekend, Matutu the people who participated in inviting sanctions deserve jail time adding that he was part of those people. He added that since there is no law under which they can be punished, ordinary Zimbabweans shall continue to suffer. 
<h2>Matutu’s list:</h2>
<blockquote>
1). Nelson Chamisa (leader of the opposition Citizens’ Coalition for Change (CCC)
2). Tendai Biti (Former Finance Minister),
 3). Lovemore Moyo (former Speaker of Parliament), 
4). Morgan Komichi (MDC-T Chairman, 
5). Tapiwa Mashakada, 
6). David Coltart and 
7). Eddie Cross.
8). Obert Gutu (former deputy Minister of Justice),
9). MP Job Sikhala (CCC member and MP for Zengest West), 
10). Peter Mutasa (former ZCTU President),
11). Tabitha Khumalo (top CCC official),
12). Douglas Mwonzora (president of MDC).
13). Blessing Chebundo (Former Kwekwe Central opposition MP)
</blockquote>
<h2>Organisations alleged to have called for the embargoes include:</h2>
<blockquote>
1). The Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU), 
2). Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition (CiZC), 
3). Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR), and
4). National Endowment for Democracy.
5). Vanguard Africa, 
6). ZimRights, 
7). Human Rights Watch, 
8). Amnesty International, 
9). Progressive Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (PTUZ) and 
10). Amalgamated Rural Teachers’ Union of Zimbabwe (ARTUZ).
</blockquote>
His remarks come as the ruling ZANU PF is pushing for the enactment of the Patriotic Act which seeks to make it a criminal offence for citizens to say bad things about the country to foreigners.
It is also pushing for the enactment of the PVO Bill which amends the PVO Act. The government says it will curb money laundering and PVOs participation in politics. It proposes harsh penalties, including jail time of up to one year for perceived offences. 
CCC responded to Matutu’s claims saying the list was his strategy to endear himself with President Emmerson Mnangagwa in order to join the ruling ZANU PF.
Matutu claimed CCC leaders were at the centre of America’s Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZIDERA) and argued the party was just a re-branded MDC, according to NewZimbabwe.
He claimed the MDC would fake abductions to get international sympathy while justifying the imposition of sanctions since the early 2000s.

Former Opposition MP Lists Zimbabwean Politicians, Entities Who Invited Sanctions On Zimbabwe

The United States of America (USA) has <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2019/11/08/un-sanctions-not-only-to-blame-for-zims-economic-problems/">reiterated that sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe are not to blame</a> for the economic crisis in the southern African country.
In a statement issued on 25 October 2022 to coincide with the country’s Anti-sanctions commemorations, the U.S., through its embassy in Harare, said bad governance and maladministration were to blame for the collapse of the once vibrant economy.
The embassy cited cases of corruption reported by local and international media to support its argument. The embassy commented on its 2019 post which cited an article by Business Times which stated that 10 000 carats of diamonds had vanished. Commenting on the article, back then, the embassy said:
<blockquote>
Diamonds worth US$10 million would fund water treatment chemicals for Harare for 4 months that Zimbabweans desperately need. But they were shipped out of the country for “training purposes” &amp; never reached the intended destination. #ItsNotSanctions
</blockquote>
The embassy also cited an article by the News Hawks which stated that Zimbabwe was losing US$157 million to gold plunder and illicit financial flows every month.
<blockquote>
Sanctions play no role in currency volatility, regulatory instability, inflated government contracts, leakages from the extractive sector, counterproductive agricultural policies, and the list goes on. #ItsNotSanctions
</blockquote>
The US imposed sanctions targeting 144 individuals and companies. 141 of the sanctioned entities and individuals are listed in the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act passed by the US government.
Zimbabwe’s ambassador to Tanzanian <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Anselem_Sanyatwe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Anselem Nhamo Sanyatwe</a>, his wife Chido Machona and State Security minister, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Owen_Ncube" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Owen Ncube</a> — were only added to the sanctions list in 2019. 
For its part, the Zimbabwean government argues that<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/uk-says-only-5-zimbabweans-1-entity-left-under-sanctions/"> sanctions have cost billions of dollars</a> saying entities and individuals on the sanctions lists are the main players controlling means of production in the country. Their performance, positive or negative, therefore, has a trickle down effect on members of the public.

US Embassy Says Sanctions Play No Role In Currency Volatility, Leakages From Mining Sector

Felix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Chairperson of SADC has issued a statement calling for the lifting of all Sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe. In a statement seen by Pindula News, Tshilombo said although the West claims that the sanctions are targeted, they have a spill-over and contagion effect on the rest of the country and also scare away potential foreign direct investors. Western countries imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe at the turn of the millennium citing gross human rights violations during the fast-track land reform programme. Tshilombo speaks on the <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2020/02/12/anti-sanctions-day-to-become-an-annual-event/">Anti-Sanctions day commemorated annually on the 25th of October</a> to pile up pressure on the United States to remove the restrictive measures on Zimbabwe. Read the statement:
<blockquote>
<h2>Statement by His Excellency Felix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Chairperson of SADC, Calling for the Lifting of all Sanctions Imposed on the Republic of Zimbabwe</h2>
25 OCTOBER 2022
1. Once again, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) reaffirms its solidarity with the Government and People of the Republic of Zimbabwe, and reiterates the calls for the unconditional and immediate lifting of sanctions that were imposed on Zimbabwean individuals and institutions.
2. SADC is deeply concerned at the claim that the sanctions are of a “targeted nature” and are aimed at unilaterally punishing a few individuals. The reality is that there is a spill-over and contagion effect on the rest of the country, in particular by imposing a blanket negative perception about Zimbabwe across the world, in particular in the sensitive global financial markets.
3. This perception results in the country being unable to attract much-needed foreign direct investment, lines of credit, and other financial services that are essential to the socio-economic development of the country. This is more concerning given the need for rapid global recovery from at least two years of the socially and economically crippling COVID-19 pandemic which has now been compounded by a general rise in inflation across the world. Zimbabwe, like most developing countries is particularly vulnerable to these trends and the unilateral sanctions worsen the plight of her economy.
4. SADC is committed to the consolidation of democracy in Southern Africa, and indeed, elsewhere in the world. Zimbabwe is expected to hold regular national elections in mid-2023. In this context, SADC appeals to those who have imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe to give space to the citizens of the country to exercise their democratic rights and not use sanctions as a covert mechanism to effect regime change.
5. SADC is also committed to the spirit of multilateralism, in this regard, notes that sanctions imposed against a fellow nation in the family of humanity must be made in accordance with international law. In this context SADC welcomes the Report of the Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights. Alena Douhan, on her visit to Zimbabwe (A/HRC/51/33/Add.2) which recommended lifting unilateral sanctions in line with the principles of international law.
6. SADC fully supports the conclusion of the Special Rapporteur that sanctions, including secondary sanctions, and different forms of over-compliance by foreign banks and companies have had a significant impact on the population and the Government, exacerbating pre-existing economic and humanitarian challenges.
H.E Felix Antoine Tshisekedi Tshilombo, President of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Chairperson of SADC.

SADC Chair Calls For Removal Of Sanctions On Zimbabwe

Bankers have bemoaned the impact of Western-imposed sanctions on Zimbabwe, which have led to the loss of more than 100 correspondent banking relationships since the restrictions were imposed at the turn of the century.  
  
Correspondent banks provide services to other banks, usually, those in other countries, acting as intermediaries or agents, facilitating wire transfers, conducting business transactions, accepting deposits and gathering documents on behalf of others.
Such banks are most likely to be used by domestic banks to service transactions that either originate or are completed in foreign countries.
The United States imposed an international embargo against Zimbabwe through the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Democracy_and_Economic_Recovery_Act_Of_2001">Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZIDERA)</a> in 2001 to punish former strongman Robert Mugabe’s regime over alleged human rights abuses and electoral fraud.
Addressing delegates at the Institute of Bankers of Zimbabwe Summer School in Victoria Falls last week, FBC Bank managing director Webster Rusere said the sanctions have had far-reaching consequences on the financial sector. Rusere said:
<blockquote>
What we need to do is to say how many correspondent banking relationships have been closed since 2001/2002. The number is 102. There is no bank that has not been affected by sanctions.
When you have a situation where your suppliers cannot access credit … Can you say that it is targeted? No, it is not.
</blockquote>
Some mining companies are failing to access money from their banks and clients abroad after being seized by fiscal authorities in the United States over their dealings with the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Minerals_Marketing_Corporation_of_Zimbabwe">Mineral Marketing Corporation of Zimbabwe</a> (MMCZ), which is under sanctions.
The MMCZ is the sole marketing and export agent for all Zimbabwean minerals, including nickel and chromite, but excluding gold and silver.
Resultantly, the <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Reserve_Bank_of_Zimbabwe">RBZ</a> early this year directed that the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority <a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2021/05/28/rbz-amends-laws-on-deductions-from-mining-exports-receipts/">(ZIMRA) would now have the mandate to collect fees and commissions previously paid to the MMCZ.</a>
The government estimates that sanctions cost the country over US$42 billion between 2000 and 2013, apart from sending thousands of firms into bankruptcy.
But Western powers maintain that the sanctions are only targeted at a few elites that have been blamed for high-level corruption, electoral fraud and human rights violations. 
Last month, a United Nations special envoy, Alena Douhan, called on the US and the EU to consider lifting the sanctions saying they were hurting the general public.
