MDC-T VP Calls For The Lifting Of Sanctions Against Zim

MDC-T vice president Obert Gutu has called for the unconditional lifting of sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.

Gutu claimed that at one point he supported the sanctions “naively” believing that they will lead to the full democratisation of Zimbabwe. In an editorial for The Herald, Gutu wrote:

Where the overall interests of Zimbabwe supersede and overtake my own private and personal interests, I don’t hesitate to sacrifice my personal interests for the common good of my beloved country and continent.

This is the major reason that informed how I reached my Damascus (sic) moment regarding the issue of sanctions against Zimbabwe. Here and now, I will fully admit that at one time, I was thoroughly misguided in actively supporting and actually calling for the imposition of sanctions against Zimbabwe.
At that juncture, I rather stupidly and naively believed that the imposition of sanctions would naturally lead to the full and total democratisation of Zimbabwe. I was wrong; totally wrong.

The reality is that sanctions actually cause more harm, political suffering and socio-economic agony to the majority of innocent Zimbabweans, most of whom are not even political activists.
Thus, I’m unashamedly and passionately calling for the lifting of all forms of sanctions that were imposed against Zimbabwe by the major Western powers such as the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union.
