Farai Dziva|Zanu-PF secretary for information and Publicity Simon Khaya Moyo has condemned the extension of sanctions against top government officials.

“Zimbabwe under the New Dispensation has instituted remarkable electoral reforms which created a conducive environment for free, fair and credible elections as manifested in July 2018,” said Khaya Moyo.

“The country has witnessed the upholding of human rights fundamentals and the liberalisation of the media and many other freedoms as enshrined in the National Constitution. It must be understood by the Trump Administration that there was no justification in the first place for the USA to impose the sanctions over a bilateral historical issue between Zimbabwe and Britain.

It cannot be correct for the American Government to infer that the recent harmonised elections in Zimbabwe were irregular as they were endorsed by domestic, regional and continental bodies like SADC, the AU and various other international observer missions.

The verdict by the Zimbabwe Constitutional Court on the electoral challenge by MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa, declaring President ED Mnangagwa the winner brought the matter to finality.”
