MANICALAND today joined the rest of the country and Africa in the solidarity march to call for the removal of illegal economic sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe by America and her Western allies.

Similar events were held in Mutare, Rusape, Chimanimani and Chipinge under the theme: “Friend to All, Enemy to None: Forging Ahead and Enhancing Innovation and Productivity in Adversity of Sanction” as the province spoke with one voice in a loud, unequivocal chorus.

 

The anti-sanctions marches drew people from all walks of life as they made a bold statement that the illegal sanctions were hurting people as well as businesses.

In Mutare, the procession marched through Herbert Chitepo Street from downtown and gathered at Meikles Park where speaker after speaker took turns to denounce the embargoes which have caused untold suffering to the majority of Zimbabweans.

In a speech read on his behalf by Zanu PF Manicaland Province acting secretary for administration, Cde Misheck Mugadza, the party’s provincial chairman, Cde Mike Madiro, said it was fallacy to think of the sanctions as being targeted.

“Comrades and friends, these so-called “targeted sanctions” are beyond being targeted at individuals. They have a demoralising effect on the entire sovereign populace of Zimbabwe.

“As the people of Manicaland, we are strongly calling for the unconditional removal of these illegal sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe,” said Cde Madiro.

Other speakers also called for the immediate and unconditional removal of the illegal sanctions.
