In a bold call for the complete removal of Western-imposed sanctions, supporters of Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa are pushing for the lifting of restrictions, despite the ongoing issues of human rights violations, corruption, and looting of state resources in the country.

The Citizens Against Economic Sanctions Zimbabwe (CAESZ) held a media briefing in Harare on Wednesday, where the association’s managing director, Cde Martin Zharare, expressed strong support for President Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030. He emphasized that the goal is to move the country towards an upper-middle-class society, but this can only be achieved if the illegal sanctions imposed by the United States and its Western allies are removed.

“We are an anti-sanctions lobby group, and we are ready to promote President Mnangagwa’s Vision 2030 to achieve an upper-middle-class society,” Zharare stated.

He also reiterated the group’s unwavering stance on the removal of sanctions, asserting that Zimbabwe cannot discuss any progress until the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery Act (ZIDERA) is repealed.

“We will continue to call for the total removal of sanctions by the West on Zimbabwe, and until the Zimbabwe Democracy Economic Recovery Act, ZIDERA, is repealed, we cannot talk of the removal of sanctions; they must go in totality,” Zharare insisted.
