Jane Mlambo| In a desperate move that shows the Zimbabwe government is hard hit by the United States sanctions, President Emmerson Mnangagwa is hoping the donation by the western giant to the victims of cyclone idai will mark a change in relations between the two nations.

While addressing Chimanimani villagers yesterday, Mnangagwa said the US government made a donation of $2.5 million to Zimbabwe despite the unceremonious relationship existing between the two.

Posting on Twitter today, deputy minister of information Energy Mutodi expressed Mnangagwa’s hope that the donation will mark the end of hostile politics between Zimbabwe and the United States of America.
