PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa<\/a>\u2019s administration will support calls for a law to sanction citizens who support moves by foreign governments against the State, Justice Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi has said.<\/p>\n

Ziyambi in an interview at the weekend that the country\u2019s ability to transact in the international system has been highly compromised by sanctions imposed by Western powers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe support the call for those calling for the imposing of sanctions on this country being arrested,\u201d Ziyambi said.<\/p>\n

The cabinet minister\u2019s call comes ahead of the government and ruling party organised anti-sanctions protests set for this Friday in Harare. The protests is to demand the unconditional removal of the \u201cillegal sanctions\u201d that government argues is responsible for the country\u2019s economic woes.<\/p>\n

Added Ziyambi: \u201cIt is very painful when people believed that there are targeted sanctions. Business people out there cannot transact internationally. We are subjected to a lot of questions when you want to transact and transfer money from Zimbabwe to do business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes the transactions do not go through and our business people will tell you this is happening.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that we have to start working at a law that will ensure that those people who are not patriotic who brought this suffering to others are brought to book and we craft a law along the lines of the Logan Act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Government has set aside 25 October as a day to call for the removal of sanctions imposed on the country nearly two decades ago.<\/p>\n

Last month, Sadc Heads of State and Government declared October 25 as the day to stand in solidarity with Zimbabwe against the sanctions when they met in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

Different countries in the region have indicated that they will carry out various activities on the day.<\/p>\n

The regional block has since taken the call to United Nations General Assembly demanding the removal of the restrictive measures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
