Farai Dziva| Foreign Affairs and International Trade Minister Sibusiso Moyo has said sanctions are detrimental to economic recovery.

Moyo was commenting on the continuation of sanctions on Zimbabwe.

He further said the imposition of sanctions on Harare was deterring government efforts to move the country forward.

Moyo also argued sanctions were hampering re-engagement efforts.

“The recent EU Council maintained restrictive measures on Zimbabwe but such a move impacts negatively on economic recovery efforts. The continuation of any form of sanctions is not synonymous with Zimbabwe’s re-engagement efforts.

The Government of Zimbabwe will continue to make efforts to solidify genuine re-engagement,” said Moyo.
