Jane Mlambo| War veterans have called for the enactment of laws that bar anyone who call for economic sanctions from contesting elections in Zimbabwe.

Led by their Secretary General, Victor Matemadanda, war veterans said all those who call for sanctions should be declared enemies of the state.

“The ZNLWVA condemns all reactionary forces who go around the work asking for the extension of sanctions and call upon the conference to;

“(We)declare all who call for sanctions against Zimbabwe and who work against government efforts to resuscitate the economy as enemies of the station and nation of Zimbabwe

“(We) call upon conference to call on parliament to enact laws that cause an investigation and establishment of facts on people who call for sanctions and economic sabotage. If proved to be true, to make such people not eligible for election to district, provincial council, Member of Parliament, Senator and President position,” said Matemadanda.
