ZANU PF Leaders Unite Against Sanctions Ahead of SADC Anti-Sanctions Day

By Enia Dube 

ZANU PF leaders have rallied behind the anti-sanctions campaign, urging the international community to lift economic sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe. This united stance comes ahead of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Anti-Sanctions Day, observed annually on October 25.

The sanctions, imposed in 2002, have severely impacted Zimbabwe’s economy, limiting access to international funds and freezing state-owned companies’ foreign assets. President  Mnangagwa has repeatedly highlighted the devastating effects on ordinary citizens, emphasizing the need for sanctions relief.

SADC firmly backs Zimbabwe, declaring October 25 a regional day of solidarity. Former SADC chair, President Filipe Nyusi of Mozambique, stressed that sanctions are “no longer relevant” and hinder Zimbabwe’s socio-economic development. SADC’s support underscores the region’s commitment to Zimbabwe’s growth.

The anti-sanctions campaign gains momentum as UN Special Rapporteur Alena Douhan investigates sanctions’ effects on Zimbabwe. Her findings will be presented to the UN Human Rights Council, shedding light on the sanctions’ humanitarian impact.

Zimbabwe’s economic decline and limited access to international services have severe social consequences. The nation reaffirms its commitment to economic revival and international cooperation as it marks SADC Anti-Sanctions Day.

The ZANU PF leadership’s resolve to combat sanctions sends a strong message to the international community. With regional solidarity and growing international support, Zimbabwe pushes forward, seeking sanctions relief and a brighter economic future.

This campaign unites Zimbabweans, emphasizing the nation’s right to development and self-determination. As the world watches, Zimbabwe demands sanctions relief, poised for economic resurgence and global engagement.
