We don’t regret sanctions: ED

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa says he has no regrets for sanctions imposed by the West due to alleged corruption, property and human rights abuses that the government is failing to adequately address.

Since 2001, Zimbabwe has been under sanctions whereby selected State-linked firms, politicians and individuals close to high-ranking government officials are blacklisted from doing business in Western nations.

Over the years, however, the West has drastically minimised the targeted sanctions owing to a few improvements on the part of government in addressing the matters that caused them.
