ZANU PF has issued a statement on the illegal sanctions against Zimbabwe calling for unity and for people to speak with one voice against the illegal sanctions hurting Zimbabweans.

The People's Revolutionary Party went on to highlight that they are aware of those who continue to collaborate with those who imposed sanctions on Zimbabweans. Such elements are clearly anti-people and anti-Zimbabwean.

"ZANU PF joins the People of Zimbabwe, SADC, the AU and His Excellency, the President Cde E.D

Mnangagwa and the People of Zimbabwe, in calling for the unconditional removal of illegal sanctions on the Nation-Zimbabwe which are hurting ordinary Zimbabweans."

"As we mark this special day set out by SADC in solidarity with our people, ZANU PF applauds the

decision of the United Nations to send a Special Rapporteur, Ms Alane Douhan to investigate the

impact of sanctions on the economic, social, political and human rights situation in the country.

"ZANU PF and the generality of the People of Zimbabwe will continue to organise themselves and

tell the world how much these illegal economic sanctions have caused untold suffering to our

people for decades now."

"We call upon all Zimbabweans, to remain united, focused and speak with one voice on the issue

of sanctions. We are aware of those who continue to collaborate with those who imposed sanctions on our people. Such elements are clearly anti-people and anti-Zimbabwean.

"The global and regional solidarity which we continue to receive from SADC, AU, the International

Community, progressive nations and eminent personalities strengthen our resolve to continue to

resist these illegal sanctions at the same time working out a formula to change our people’s fortunes. The People of Zimbabwe will always cherish that solidarity.

"The Second Republic led by our Visionary Leader, the President and First Secretary Cde E.D Mnangagwa embraced the reality of these sanctions and our economy has been adjusted to operate in

this harsh environment, leveraging on our natural resources. Despite these heinous sanctions, we

are one of the leading nations in terms of vaccinating our people against covid19 without any

financial support from global financial institutions.

"Despite sanctions, we have achieved food

security through the Pfumvudza Farming Program. Despite sanctions, our government has revolutionised our roads system and stabilised our currency.

"The ZANU PF Government continues to register more and more developmental strides in every

sector. This is a clear demonstration of the capacity of our people and leadership and with sanctions removed, we are ready to double our efforts to transform our nation into an upper-middle-income economy by 2030.

"Finally, we reiterate our call for the unconditional removal of the US-EU illegal sanctions on Zimbabwe and her people, for our nation and people are not an enemy to any but friend to all," said the Party
