Jane Mlambo| Newly appointed United States Ambassador to Zimbabwe Brian Nichols has urged government to fully implement the 2013 constitution if sanctions are to be removed.

Speaking during a question and answer session in Harare today, Nichols said, “If Zimbabwe as a nation fully implements the 2013 constitution, then sanctions issue will be resolved and the Zimbabwe has made a commitment to that,” said Nichols.

USA has recently renewed sanctions against Zimbabwe with President Emmerson Mnangagwa scoffing at the Trump administration decision saying his government remain focused on developing the country and safeguarding peace.
